Thanks Sectretsinme I'm having a stable period the last few days, so I contacted my professors and they agreed to give me a couple more days to make up the work.

I got a lecture from a new therapist about how difficult having a child is and how it won't make things easier (as if I thought that!), and she doesn't think my relationship has a strong foundation… all without offering any solutions… I've only met the woman a few times, and she has never bothered to ask much about my relationship, or if I have any experience with children or babies, or what my motivations are…

Although it's undoubtably true that not everyone would be a good parent, I think that for those of us who actively pursue stability and take care of ourselves and know when and who to ask for help, I think we'll do alright.
