I'm going to be the devil's advocate here. My daughter has helped me heal in some of my issues. I see how innocent she is and it gave me a lot of hope.

I didn't start my healing until she was two. One day I looked at her and thought she deserves to have two healthy parents (instead of one). There was something about her that made me what to be a better person.

However, I do feel it was selfish of me to get pregnant without her father wanting the same thing. He is happy now, but it could have went the wrong way so making sure you have a father for the child is important.
