Hang in there, Simone. May I ask how far along you are in your pregnancy? While I'm a father, and not a mother, I still can relate to being depressed regarding parenthood. My children are both disabled, and I went through a very hard process of accepting that. Unfortunately, and sadly, I did at one time feel that I did not want to be a father because of this, but I got my meds and therapy straightened out and I do my best now.

Just a couple things to think about - 1) there is always the consideration of adoption; I'm sure it must be very hard for a mother to go through that, but it is an option. 2) If your boyfriend is not faithful, then he is not worth staying with, but he should take an active role in raising your child. If he does not, then he should provide child support at the very least. You may need to just do your best to get through the birth and then get your meds back on track and hopefully you will feel better. Good luck and keep us informed!
