No problem. I consider this part of my therapy session now, part of writing a letter to a fictional friend, so lets go personal.

Well, I always wanted children, but not at that moment, I was not ready. I just didn't have the heart to go for an abortion. I did consider it though and that still hurts. It still burns, I never would have forgiven myself. Only in the darkest of hours you should consider that.

We still together and have 4 kids now. I am happy how it all worked out. Could have been worse.

It helps to write, so thank you for asking :)

TBH, I think no one is ever ready to have a child. No matter if it's a first one or not.

Yeah, I think that's true. I consider myself utterly incompetent for this task, and yet I've ended up with eight step-children over the years. It sucks for all concerned, but something is usually better than nothing.

Very glad for you that it worked out. An abortion one regrets … that would be a dark place. Thanks for responding.

In addition to letters to a fictional friend you could also think of writing a journal for your very non-fictional children. I am sure they would appreciate that when they grow up into adults.
