It's hard to manage parenting and health problems at the same time, and endometriosis can cause a lot of pain. But, it's also hard to parent well and deal with drugs or alcohol or other substances. They're hard on your body, to begin with, and when you're using, and drunk or high, it's hard on those around you as well, because you're just not yourself. Your partner sound wise. It seems like it would be a good idea to take time to stop using drugs and alcohol, to build a healthy realtionship with the children you have, and with your partner, and to heal your body, mind, and spirit a bit, before trying for a baby. Starting a pregnancy in your best health gives your baby, who is totally dependent on you while he or she is growing inside, the best possible start in life. There are many sources of support and help while you try and work out what's going on for you.

OK, you had an abortion less than a year ago and now you want to get pregnant. Something isn't right there. I think you have enough children. Concentrate on being a good mom to them and cleaning up your act. I may get thumbs down for this but you don't need another child. Actually, you don't deserve one. Sorry, that's how I feel.

I would get your life in order before you think about getting pregnant again.
