Dear SilverWolfAngel's,
I am so sorry for the loss of your loved ones. Please give your family my condolences.
I am so very glad that you & your hubby take care of your children. I am so sorry to hear that your husband is having such a hard time right now. The loss of a mother is horrendous. It is understandable what he is going through.
I am also part Cherokee Indian. My family served in the military (my grandfathers, my dad, my uncles, my cousins, myself, my husband, our sons, my nephew, my brother-in-law & even my mother-in-law).
To your question, No I am not saying your children should have been aborted. No where on any of my posts will you find that I have ever said someone should be aborted.
I am sorry that you are having such a hardtime at the present. We all go through difficult times. Hardtimes does not discriminate, it touches us all.
Yet, I must point out that when I posted what I said, I was NOT TALKING to YOU. I was replying to what someone said ('skytime'). For some reason, it seems that you think I was referring to you or something. I was not.
And, I do stand by my original post. Too many young people have children without any regard to how they are going to care for them. Children DO cost money! We have an epidemic of having babies left & right with a great many unmarried. If we are going to have children we need to take care of them. It is still the responsibility of whoever created that child to provide care for that child. Too many men (and some women too) leave the child when the going get rough because the finances are tough. And, many of these people planned/tried to get pregnant without having any financial plan or thinking about the consequences.
I have had counseling sessions with girls as young as 11 years old telling me that they wanted a baby because someone at their school had one at age 10. I have had clients to deliberately try to get pregnant (and did get pregnant). These ladies had no education, no job, no way to care for the child.
I realize birth control does not work all the time. However, if one find that they are fertile (after 2 or 3 kids) & if all else fails there are many other options. Abstinence works VERY well, also.
I know what alot of people are thinking: 'its their body, they will have as many kids as they want too'. They will say, it's their BUSINESS. I totally agree it's their business. And it is also THEIR business to TAKE CARE of them. Why make it somebody else's business when it comes to taking care of them!
I know firsthand, many unforseen events will happen to us in life. My point is why make harder on ourselves than it has to be. Women should get a skill, job & have a financial plan before hand. Many women did have job,etc before having kids & they are having a hard time this day & age. How much harder it will be for those who did not make any plans.
I certainly do hope & pray that things get better for you. Trouble does not last always.
