Backstory: Bipolar, non medication-compliant difficult child moved with, and became engaged to (moved in within a few days of having "met", and became engaged a week following moving in) to Craigslist dude.
Eight weeks later, she learns she is pregnant. She is thrilled. So is he, despite the fact that he already has three sons under the age of five. He has joint custody. Also .. tiny detail .. he is yet divorced from the mom of said kids.
A week and a half ago, difficult child learns she is carrying ..... twins.
Yesterday, she decided that they fought too much and that he was insensitive (really? this has just dawned on you?) and she broke off the engagement.
She is staying here ... temporarily.
PLEASE - I am in a place where I do not want or need any advice right now.
I need support, and I need the kind of understanding that only comes from the people who have dealt with the complexities of having an adult difficult child.
I have no idea what I am going to do from here, and I promise to seek advice here, if advice is what I need. In the meantime, I ask for prayers for her, an invitation to a vacation home in Hawaii for me (or, in the absence of that possibility, a hug or two), and the fellowship of the fraternity of those who understand (or are willing to try to understand) how every complicated this is.
