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?

This isn't a pro-choice v pro-life debate and if you're going to reply please respect that. Also, keep religion out. Thanks.

If I accidentally became pregnant than yes, I would make it work. However, would I plan for a third child under those circumstances? No. I just don't think it's best...I think the family as a whole would be better if dad had more time to stabilize after drug addiction, and mom could stay medicated and continue to focus on self instead of worrying about upcoming baby arrival.
