I don't know how to cope with this. Can someone please help me?

Question

My little brother is giving up his unborn child(my niece) because his girlfriend doesn't want it. he says that he doesn't mind keeping the child but doesn't want to hurt his relationship in the process. I understand there is nothing I can do but I am so depressed that I have to sit back and watch my niece be given to another family when there is a huge family here wanting her. I am so sad what should I do to help myself move on?

Answer 1

you just have to focus on the positives my dear!! think that another family that is unable to have children will be so grateful to have this little miracle in there life and you'll know it will get lots of love. It's too bad that your brother girlfriend doesn't want it but wouldn't you want your niece to be with a mom that will love it unconditionally rather than see it as an in-convience?? I am sure things will work out and maybe you can keep in contact with the family!!  

Answer 2

think about it like this, if your brother knows that it will damage his relationship then it may be for the best, a child can be easily hurt when parents argue, if they wont be able to cope with the child it is better for the child to go to a parent(s) who will show her love and support no matter what. i know its hard but think about your niece's best interest. you don't want her to grow up in a troubled household over looking her parents argueing it will only cause her stress. go out with some friends and enjoy yourself, when the time is right, you will be a lovely aunt or uncle! (new to this, dont know how to establish the s*x of writters sorry)

Answer 3

You might feel better if you suggested to your little brother that he get a vasectomy and have his girlfriend get a tubal ligation.

I know I'd feel better.
