Hi,I am Dr. Alexander H. Sheppe (Psychiatrist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I recently found out that I was pregnant, I told my boyfriend about it. He always jokes about me getting pregnant so was not expecting his answer. He wants me to have an abortion. I went through the consultation for the abortion and just strongly disagree with it. I told him about this feeling and continually have nightmares about it. He does not want to hear this and is gong ho about this abortion. I feel even if it was an accident why are we killing this baby, it was not its fault it was conceived and now i feel its my job to protect it but I am scared about just up and leaving, he has threatened that if i leave he will find me and take my baby that he does not want and raise it with his ex. what should I do
I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. The cause of your fear is due to conflict of opinion. That is normal. Also you have a good human view point towards this issue. But you must also understand your husbands view. He could be compelling you to abort because of some compelling issues. Talk to him about this. Understand his feelings and points. Do not argue. Arguments always provides no result. Discuss. Discussions always produce results, decisions.
Psychotherapy techniques should suit your requirement. If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this URL. http://goo.gl/aYW2pR. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe the needed psychotherapy techniques.
Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications. Good luck.
