Peaches - Ur point above - Absolutely correct. A child added to a volatile relationship does not smooth things out in that relationship. It only adds fuel to an already blazing fire. Imagine when u have no attention from ur husband because all his attention is devoted to the child. What reaction will that bring about?
Imagine when the child cries at 4 in the morning but u refuse to get up - who is being hurt here? only the child.
Imagine when u are jealous over ur own child at the inception of its conception because the father was only concerned for the health of that child. What does that say about a "loving" mother
