Put yourself in this situation if you're able...

You're happily married with two kids, own home etc
Your partner has just come out of a drug addiction
You have BPD, PPD, Anxiety and you know its best you stay medicated

Would you add another child into this dynamic?

Well if one is already on its way...not much can be said...

I choose a permanent solution after my now ex-wife had our 3rd child.

I don't have kids, a partner, or a substance abuse issue. But for what its worth, if the baby is on the way and you want to keep the baby, with the right support and clear communication you can do it i am sure!

Yes, there are issues, but if you do say you are happily married...well thats worth a whole lot I say. We all have issues but love makes a big difference. If you are pregnant now or thinking of it, the baby will come into a family with problems yes, but love can beat all the problems...A child needs love..sounds like there is love in that home of yours!!!

Hugs;
