[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 585137, member: 1233"] Hoping and praying and pretzeling and dancing for the offer to be accepted! It is time for your focus to be YOU, in my opinion. As for the girlfriend, I hope she and easy child/difficult child can truly comprehend what a marriage will cost them. Is it possiblefor you to sit down iwth her parents and the lovebirds to get through to them? If that isn't a good idea, maybe you need to play the what if game with yourselfand husband to figure out exactly what you will be able to do and more important what you will be WILLING to do if they choose to marry and he loses hsi disability? Also what you will and won't do if/when her children come to live with them. I pray that her parents will not easily turn over custody, but if they do it could get bad really fast. You don't have to tell the lovebrds what you will and won't do if/when any of this happens. I am just thinking that it might help your peace of mind if you spell out what you are and are not wiling to do if the lovebirds make these choices. If girlfriend can have children, you should think about what you will and won't be willing to do in that situation also. As you make plans, remember that you owe YOURSELF some time to just be you and enoy yourself and time with husband. There comes a time when our duty to ourselves is, or should be, as strong or stronger than our duty to care for our children when they are young. [/QUOTE]
