By stating that the attitude would be to protect the baby, the pedestrian will leave the girl helpless during the pregnancy.
Despite being a novel, Parental abandonment is more common than one might think. And, often, the father does not wait for the baby to be born to leave, abandoning the family when the woman is still pregnant, as will happen with Irma.
Therefore, to understand the impacts of this behavior on the life of this future motherwe hear Ligia Dantas, psychologist and member of the Brazilian Society of Human Reproduction (SBRH). Follow and understand this conversation.
It is not a night
According to the specialist, it is difficult for the end of the relationship to happen overnight. Usually, this relationship is deteriorating for some reasons and giving indications on what can happen, such as abandonment, for example.
“In the case of abandonment during pregnancy, the man does not assume this role of father, after all there is already a child there. With this, not only the family bond is broken, but in all the plans of the couple, in that idealization of the woman on the family “, comments Ligia.
The impact of abandoning a pregnant woman
First of all, it is good to remember that this pregnant woman is already unstable, because the pregnancy itself causes fluctuations in hormones. “With an ambivalence of feelings, this can be intensified and the woman goes through a lot of psychic suffering with the end of this bond.”
The psychologist also emphasizes care when dealing with the situation and explaining it assigning the adjective “abandoned” to the woman left by her partner ends up denoting even more vulnerability at that moment.
Another important impact, in her opinion, is that of doubt. After all, before the baby was a common project, but now it has become only that of the mother. This, combined with the emotional instability of pregnancy, may echo the question “what should I do now?” and in mixed feelings.
This woman needs support
Of course, the developments of the narrative, more often than not, do not follow what happens in real life. In the case of Irma, for example, it is very likely that she will have a happy ending with her loved one. In real relationships, some care is essential for this woman who suffered a termination during pregnancy.
“You have to look psychic support and also your support network, such as friends and family, who can observe it to check for any signs of gestational depression. This exists and often needs medication, one that doesn’t harm the fetus, “says the expert.
Furthermore, the search for a psychologist will help this person to face their fears, to understand this motherhood from a new point of view – now, alone – and even to recognize what the role of this father will be in this new story. Hence, a place of listening, without judgment, is very necessary.
