Adding to the family.
I'm 23 years old, recovery addict, my boyfriend is 31 (3year relationship & still rockin'), and the mother of a beautiful 7 year boy.
I would like to have another child in the future and so do my boyfriend, which he is willing to wait. My son has had sibling fever for 3 years now. First, he wanted a brother. Then brother or sister. We got our now 2 year old cat, and that eased the heat. Now he wants a brother and have came up with names!
I'm so nervous to be honest. My son was unplanned and I was 15, frowned upon. I feel there will never be a "good" time to try. I'm so adiment about finances and future building and planning and security. I'm in a custody battle right now even, my mother took my son and that's a mess in itself with lawyers and her keeping him away the best she can, she has wanted him since I found out I was pregnant (I still have legal custody and should have him within a year; I lost my home last year) if I were to conceive and he isn't in my home other than seeing his father I don't think I could feel happy, actually feel guilt. Is it ok to add to my family if I'm still fighting for physical custody? Does that make me non-loving? I am fighting tooth and nail and will never give up. And I'm nervous that I would feel guilt for enjoying not being "a shame" for not being a teen anymore.
I wanted my kids close in age, but always looked out for what's best for my son and our future. Are there any mothers whom children have a gap and still great relationship?
Any feedback is awesome.
