[QUOTE="busywend, post: 387532, member: 391"] I am sorry, but I have to say this right now. I lost a baby. There is no way anyone should expect that she be OK with that loss by now. In fact, it is a proven fact that when losing a baby your arms actually, physically ache for a baby to hold. Not just any baby. Your baby. It is a fact because it happened to me. So, her demanding to have a baby right now is totally normal for what she has been through. Completely expected if you ask a counselor. I am amazed that after not even 2 months....nobody is trying to get these kids to understand grief, instead of encourage them to separate. Sorry, this just hit me wrong. I am not trying to be rude here, as I am sure it sounds like I am. But, really and truly - these kids need some help working through their feelings. An event such as this can break up even the strongest marriage, let alone a young dating relationship. So - why encourage that break up when it has extenuating circumstances? It makes no sense to me. There is a connection they will have forever - even though they are not parenting this child. The connection will last forever. Sorry, but I feel it is wrong to not help them understand their feelings, emotions and actions at this time. [/QUOTE]
