Pregnant and alone

Hello!!!  Well I am 4 months pregnant and everyday I feel depressed and alone.  I don't know what I was thinking getting pregnant but I see it as a blessing.  All of my step kids have moved out but they still causing problems with my husband and I.  Since I am pregnant I am very strict about COVID 19 and I don't want to be near people especially if they don't live with me.  But my husband doesn't understand that and we always argue about it.  He wants to have his kids over to the house or he wants to hang out with them at their house but they don't take COVID seriously.  Everytime his kids want to come around, I say no and he threatens me of leaving me.  I really want to stay healthy especially since I have suffered several miscarriages throughout the years.  I also have a 9 year old daughter and her immune system is very weak.  I haven't allowed her to go to school all year and I am working from home for the same reason.  I don't know what to do!  Should I risk it by having his kids around or continue doing what I think it's safe for my family.  I really thought this pregnancy would bring me happiness but as of right now I have been depressed and alone.

From reading your other blogs, this sounds par for the course for your husband.  You are not his priority, and he does not sound like a nice man.  Would it be a big loss if he left you as he's threatened?  

Are any of these stepkids, or you or your husband, vaccinated?  Planning to be?  On the one hand, it seems a lot to ask for your husband not to see his kids outside of your home for an indefinite period of time.  On the other, I understand your concerns, especially since your daughter is immune compromised (not sure what you mean by a "weak" immune system) and cannot be vaccinated yet.   Would your position change if everyone was fully vaccinated?

Well his kids don't believe in vaccinations and they don't think that the virus is true even though it has killed many people.  That is one reason I don't like for them to come around and because they party and don't wear a mask.
