I feel as though I may not be able to live with my decision to relinquish, and yet I KNOW that for me, mothering is not an option. My overwhelming question for today is: WHY?????
I know that I cannot and will not parent. But it seems unfair to say that to my husband without at least attempting to explain why that is. And I just don't know.
Have you faced this very question within yourself? Please respond to this board-my email acct at flexnet is no longer available. Thank you so much.
Holding on....Becca.
