[QUOTE="Star*, post: 77704, member: 4964"] Saving Grace, IF I came on too strong or opinionated I am sorry. Sometimes my passion gets overloaded about a certain subject but I should remember this is not me, it's just what I would suggest to a friend who's hurting. (Point well taken Janet) my apologies. That being said I wanted to let YOU know that while this is a hard situation it's not your situation. This belongs to your son and his girlfriend. Regarless of the decisions made, you are related to your son - not the girl. I guess if I were your next door neighbor and you asked me for my opinion I would advise you to pray, prepare, and support your son in supporting his girlfriend. Past that? I'd keep out of it. You've made your offers and while as older people we know you only have everyones best interest at heart - all you can do is keep praying. Lately it's been very VERY hard for me to sit in the house alone without the sounds of difficult child and I think...If I had a child now, or if I were to adopt a child now with all my wisdom and experience maybe MAYBE I could make things come out the way I had thought they would have with difficult child. The reality of that is I'm older, and deep down while I would love a do-over with my son or a child I'm not the same person I was when he was born. I was 24 then...Im 43 now. My brain would like that to work out - my body wouldn't recover from the hard work it is to parent a baby. I hope things work out for you, and again I'm sorry if I got on the PRO band wagon. I'm not on either wagon - I quite prefer my own scooter. Hugs for your day, and restful sleep to you. Star [/QUOTE]
