“I don’t know what to do. I can’t raise this child alone. I have to go back to Eric, but I can’t!”
Andrea hugged me tightly. “You can’t go back to him, Melody. He’s dangerous. We don’t know what he’s capable of. You and your baby deserve better.”
“But how? How can I do this without him?” I sobbed.
“You have me. We’ll figure it out together. I’ll help you with the baby. You don’t need him to give your child a good life,” she said firmly.
I nodded, tears still streaming down my face. “You’re right. It’s too risky to tell Eric about the pregnancy. But accepting your help… I just feel so uncertain.”
Andrea squeezed my hand. “You’re not alone, Melody. We’ll get through this. One step at a time.”
So here I am, pouring my heart out to you all. What do you think I should do? Should I risk telling Eric about the baby, hoping he might change?
Or should I stay with Andrea, trying to build a life without him? I’m torn, and I could really use some advice.
