Advice...anyone?

NurseHeather13

I am 37. I have a son who has been the joy of my life for 12 years. Due to an unfortunate situation not long ago, he refuses to speak to me even in counseling. I'm thinking about having another baby via artificial insemination to avoid all the baby daddy drama but I'm afraid if my son comes around he will think I tried to replace him and that could NEVER happen! I sort of feel guilty...like I'm abandoning him but I need to be a mom. Thoughts?

This is a tough one and I have no doubt you are torn apart. All I can tell you is that if this were me, I might put off having another baby, at least for the time being. I understand your longing for another child and I know that you feel time is of the essence, but I think I would be more focused on repairing the relationship with my existing child. Yes, I do think that perhaps you having another child right now could cause more harm to the relationship. Please understand I do not mean that in a negative way at all, just my opinion based on what you wrote. If he was an adult I would feel differently, but he is still a child and if things are rocky, I think that would be my number one priority.

Whatever you choose, I do wish you well.
