Her Husband Pushed Her Into Delivering A Special Needs Baby And Is Threatening To Ruin Her Life If She Leaves Him

How cruel it is to have a partner who demands that a life be brought into the world, only to later use that as a ransom. She survived a traumatic, premature birth, but her husband is now neglecting their son's care and making horrible threats to her, so she's left fighting to give her son a chance while surviving a nightmare her husband created.

Tragically, following seven miscarriages, this woman finally got pregnant. Nineteen weeks into her pregnancy, she began having contractions, so she went to the hospital, where doctors informed her that the amniotic sac was already coming out and she was dilated.

She was told that her twins were not likely to survive, and she would most likely be in labor in another day. She was advised to terminate both babies, since both babies would likely be born disabled.

"I wanted to terminate because I cannot deal with disabled twins. My husband begged me to not terminate. He swore the twins wouldn’t be disabled because of early intervention," she explained.

"Even if they do get a brain bleed, early intervention would fix everything. He swore he would do anything for us once they were born. I made it to 24 weeks and had to have a C-section."

"One twin died of a brain bleed, the other is doing well (it’s a miracle), BUT he has a terrible problem with vomiting, is tube fed, and he’s delayed. When early intervention comes over, my husband disappears. We have 7 people come a week, and my husband wants nothing to do with them."

"He does not help me with the exercises; he doesn't help me with his development, even though he's so delayed. He will not even sit on the floor and play with the baby or try to teach him words. He disappears often. Life at home is terrible."

Her baby vomits twenty times a day, and she's focused on doing anything she can to help him improve, while her husband isn't concerned with anything except letting his mom finally meet their son.

Side note: her mother-in-law made a credible threat to run her over with a car and end her a couple of years ago, so it's easy to see why she doesn't want her son to know his grandma at all.

Her husband has stated that if she ever ends up leaving him, he's going to show that her mental health is suffering and poses a risk to the baby.

His plan is then to give the baby to his mom and gain full custody. What a peach. Her husband also complains to his own family about how she sits around without doing anything all day long.

"My days are spent doing therapies, tube feeding the baby every half hr, appointments, changing his clothes 15x a day because he pukes all day long," she continued.

"I’m glad I went through with the pregnancy. My son is the light of my life. But I just need to talk to someone anonymously because I know this is a controversial topic. Thank you."

Let him make all the threats he wants; they're empty anyway, since she has a pile of proof regarding the involvement in her son's medical care, while her husband is doing nothing.

Also, there are seven other people coming in and out of her home every week who are obviously seeing that her husband is dropping the ball.

She's an amazing mom who is already doing it all alone, so drop that dead weight and kick that husband to the curb. She needs to file for divorce and get herself and her son as far away from her husband as possible.

What advice do you have for her? If a partner begs you to go through with a pregnancy against medical advice, is it fair for them to later walk away from the hard work of caregiving?
