I left my husband and son six years ago because I realized that being a wife and mother weren't for me. I learned that through my son's pregnancy and taking care of him for the first 2 months of his life that I never truly wanted that in my life even though at first I did. I left 2 months after his birth. My son will be 6 in April. I'm 25 and my ex-husband is 26. IIN?

I'm telling you people the truth. I was just wondering if what I did was normal and if other mothers did the same. Sometimes, I think that even though you may want something, in the end, it'll turn out like something you never dreamed of what it'd be like and you realize "oh crap. This isn't what I wanted at all."

    You might have realized that's not what you wanted but guess what that is your reality now and you have a responsibility just as a human being to be a mother to that child. Honestly though I don't think you deserve that type of joy. I think the child would be better off without you in it's life receiving fake love from you. Hopefully your ex can find someone that is mature and willing to take on that role. Probably will love that child more than you do or ever could. I honestly don't like people like you. One day you will answer for those decisions and trust me the regret you are going to feel is going to be so deep and by then it will be too late. It will eat you alive.

    If it wasn't want you really wanted, then why didn't you think that crap through first? Having a baby is no laughing matter you can just screw with. Now you got a betrayed ex-husband as well as a small child who was abandoned by his own mother. That certainly won't give the poor kid female trust issues in the future /s. Good job, OP. Good friggin' job. I just hope your ex finds someone that'll be a much better mother to him than you were.

    As a child from a similar (but not quite as fucking hearrless) it fucking HURTS!
    you're an adult. Own up to your own responsibilities. Just because it 'wasn't for you' gives you no right to abandon your husband and child! Think of when your son asks after his mother and his father replies 'your mother was too self centered to care about the impact this will have on you for the rest of your life. She just couldn't be bothered because it required her to grow the fuck up'

    I hope to god this is a fucking troll post.

    Nice attempt at trying to get heated responses.

        Sounds like a clever troll post if I ever read one. But if your story is real and you abandoned your family, then i must say that you sound like a huge piece of shit. Like Tayler said above i hope it eats you up inside thinking about your mistake.
