[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 366337"] I'm so sorry. This is MUCH on one's plate. (Hugs) for your husband and for your aching heart. Prayers for this unborn child. It is great news that your son has held down a job. Certainly a move in the right direction. His reasoning continues to be "off," and for some odd reason it is commong for difficult children to think that pregnancy is not in the cards for them...and therefore bc is not either. Frustrating, to say the least. What does one poster here say....no ability for cause and effect reasoning. Baffling and at times, frightening. I agree with- your husband...you and him are not in the babysitting business. It would be great if they would open their minds to alternative choices and you might suggest this casually. BUT, we all know that difficult children do what they want. Perhaps you can later guide them to social service agencies that might provide some support. Your husband already has toooo much to contend with. Your energies need to be with him. He needs PEACE not constant drama/turmoil/worry, etc. Your adult son is making these choices along with- the adult girlfriend. It is ashame. IT is so hard. But we must survive. None of us understand it...but it is what it is. YOU and your husband must move forward, hope for the best and put the BULK of your ENERGIES where you KNOW they will most count and that is with YOU!
