What is the name of your state? Maryland
My husband and I separated for just under a year, seeing each other occassionally on weekends, due to intense stress from a personal issue. I fell into a deep depression and he wasn't handling it well. While separated, he met someone else and they had a brief (four month) affair. She told him (and sent me an email telling me as well) that she couldn't have children, or thought she couldn't. But then told him she was. I knew nothing about this.
He told her to abort the child, that he still loved me and that we would reconcile and he wanted nothing to do with her or the child. She told him that she would take care of it, stayed out of work and then called him and said it was done. Even called him a couple of weeks later to say that her period had arrived and he didn't need to sweat anything out. She was sad about the breakup but told him she wished him the best in reconciling with me.
Then he decided that as part of our reconciliation that we would move away together, get away from all the ugliness. And that is when she turned psycho. She stalked me, told him that she never did give him a definite answer on whether she was pregnant or not, and is now running around his former place of employment saying she is pregnant with his child, won't tell him until the child is born, and plans on popping up on our doorstep.
Meanwhile, I found out I was pregnant as well.
I know that should DNA prove it to be his child, that we will have to pay child support (personally, I don't believe she is pregnant). But we want nothing to do with the mother or the child in any way. But this whole situation is killing me. My pregnancy is suffering from the letter she wrote me, from the emails she has sent him, and from what she is doing at the former employers. I can't sleep, I can't eat, and my depression is back full force.
Can I sue her for mental anguish? I've had two previous miscarriages and was nervous over the pregnancy to begin with, but now I'm a total wreck.
I know that others have asked this question but I can't help feeling that maybe my circumstances are different?
