Thanks jinny, yes it was and still is at times, it will never go and to be honest I'm not sure that I would want it to!
I dont blame your other half for saying no, its not an easy decision, my partner took a lot of persuading (though he loves it now -well at times, depends on the child)
Some are a joy others so damaged that it breaks your heart, we just do what we can within the limitations that we have.
I have to admit though that when I have a child here all my own anxieties go out the window and I am never better mentally.
Never give up on the idea though, it might not be practical now but later in life it might be the right thing to do
