I really need some advice. Few days before giving birth to my LO, my husband asked me to abort just because he say he does not have money to pay and find it very stressful etc. But now, I've given birth and still on confinement, to be counted as those unlucky ones, I've infections, fever etc. Even after knowing I'm having infections, fever, etc, my husband doesn't even give a damn and even ask me to go work to earn my own medical bill. I really find this marriage hopeless as he also doesn't show any respect to my parents and me. Now that I've given birth, I have a feeling if I were to mention divorce or anything, he gonna be snatching my LO from me. What should I do? He's not a Singaporean, but my LO is. And he intend to bring my LO back to his country and never comes back if I refuse to let my LO to even go back once. Upon hearing this, as a mum, how would I even dare to let my LO go back for just even once? What should I do?

I'm sorry to hear about your plight and it's unfortunate that you are going through this during your confinement. I agree with what Mr Choon has suggested. With regards to hospital bills, you can inform the hospital's business office on the repayment schedule of your hospitalisation bills. You can call up MSF for assistance with your current situation and they should be able to assist you to seek counselling or assistance. With regards to your child's safety, avoid letting your husband alone with your child. If you have to travel out of the country suggest your parents to go along on the pretext on visiting the in laws and celebrate full month or simply to visit. Keep your child's passport safe. Keep yourself sane. Do seek advices from professionals when need arises. Stay strong mummy. Hugs and kisses to you. Although you submitted this post as anonymous, you have the courage to seek advices and acknowledged what is going on instead of being in denial. Keep your chin and spirit up.
