I respect you for : recognizing that you're not ready to start a family. Please see your GYN or Planned Parenthood for contraception. Start taking 0,4 mg. of folic acid daily, get a flu shot & check your vaccine status. Seek individual therapy to explore the issues that could lead to your parenting with physical or verbal aggression. Take a parenting class with your partner. Discipline = teaching, not punishment.
