Wow, the commenters for this article are very quick to judge and offer criticism. Te writer is showing courage, responsibility, and insight beyond imagining. She will bring this child into the world and raise them, certainly striving to be the best mother she can be. Thoughts and prayers for Minafoux and the soon new additon to her family(judging by the Oct 30 article date this may be happening soon!). I pray you guys find all the support and help you need from family, friends, confidantes and others and that Minafoux you take the time for self-care and self-love and any healthy outlet you need for that. Since you have certainly been through so much(and from my point of view you were certainly hurt by many) counseling is always a great resource to find healing and rebalance--and to provide you with extra tools in your tool kit to be the best mother you can be. Best to you and soon-to-be newborn!
