I'm rejoicing with you, Su. Your post was great to read. May you now have some peace and even joy in the midst of loving this new little one to soften and make easier the path that is naturally difficult.

We're all behind you. :)

Dear Su,

I have goosebumps up and down my arms reading your post! It is an amazingly eloquent message that I wish every woman going through an unplanned pregnancy could read. Wow! Powerful. And, I am SO happy for you.

And, you know what, the part about your mother is especially heart-wrenching...So many mothers don't realize that the message they're sending to their daughters when they imply "I don't want you to live your life like I did" is that someone they REGRET the choices they made. It's really not that way at all - they love their daughters and would do anything for them. They would probably lay down their lives for them. In fact, they are trying to - as they see it - protect their daughters from pain. But, what they don't realize is the message conveyed is that the choice of raising their children is something they regret, which couldn't be farther from the truth.

I'll keep you in my prayers. I'm incredibly proud of you and grateful that you stumbled upon this board (I don't think it was an "accident" that you did ;-)

Sharon
