Guilt

The things I am about to type… I have never told anyone about it. What does one do when you have extreme guilt about bringing a child into the world? My son is 4. I never wanted kids. I got pregnant and coming from a catholic family other options were not even an “option” my parents talked me into keeping him. His father has never wanted anything to do with him. Why 2 years later my only support system (mom & dad) passed away. So now I am sitting here hating myself because the guilt is killing me. Why did I bring a child into this world that I cannot take care of. Emotionally & physically. My parents have always been poor so they left me with nothing. I have always at least kept a roof over our head & clothes on him and food in his belly. Until now. I have received a letter that my landlord is not going to renew my lease. I have been on unemployment since the beginning of this year due to the sitter that I had “trusted”. Was arrested for child abuse. Unemployment at least paid enough to keep a roof over our heads. But now I have 30 days to find somewhere to live. What does one even do???? My son does not deserve me or the life I had given him. I don’t have anyone else to even try and take care of him. I am just so sad and I am a complete failure as a person. I will now always advocate abortion because some children do not deserve to be in this world. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2TTXsZT
