[QUOTE="dashcat, post: 616239, member: 9175"] Hello everyone, I've been away for awhile ... just too overwhelmed and confused to even seek support. Here's the backstory: difficult child, 22, found out she is pregnant with twins in July. She was living with a guy she met on Craigslist who she knew for a whole six weeks. She was "engaged" to said dude after a week. About three weeks after she found out she was pregnant, she left him and I allowed her to move back with me. It hasn't been perfect, but it has been better than I thought it could be. She quit smoking cigarettes and pot and drinking the day she found out about the babies. She still obsesses over t his guy and that (she's bipolar and guys have always been a huge issue), but her opportunities for such behavior have dwindled as the pregnancy progressed! Her bi-polar episodes have been less frequent severe (I heard this can happen) Her due date is 2/26, but the babies will be delivered (C section) 1/15. One baby's umbilical chord is not attached to the placent ..it is attached to blood vessels attached to the placenta, and she is not getting what she needs. By next week, she will be safer in the NICU, so that's where she'll be. I see how sincerely she wants these babies, but I also know that her limitations are huge. She has insurance through Ossy (her dad, for those who don't know me) but the babies don't! She works part time at Target and the little money she makes just flows through her hands. I do make her pay rent (a small amount), but she has no clue. I am not of means to support these kids and the birthfather is already supporting three young children from a prior marriage and makes very little. There's only so much the court can order him to pay. I worry about he bi-polar - especially post partum depression. It's so scary and so out of my hands. If you are inclined, please pray for her and her daughters ... and throw one in for me, too! Dash [/QUOTE]
