[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 366434, member: 1233"] I am so sorry to hear about your husband's heart attack! I hope he can make a full recovery and embrace whatever lifestyle changes are needed to do that. Why is it that difficult children seem to think birth control is not important??? And then they are shocked to find a baby on the way??? Sadly some difficult children do this more than once, which truly is mind-boggling. This baby already has so many strikes against it, and it isn't even born yet. Sadly, having grown up with an addicted mother, the girlfriend is possibly suffering the effects of drugs/alcohol on her brain as a fetus. It is not always visible to the eye, but it can contribute to exactly the behaviors you are seeing. girlfriend is also quite likely to use illegal drugs at least occasionally. This does NOT mean good things for the baby. Fran is right. This is when you must rely on CPS. Just do not ever tell difficult child that you called. You will then lose any ability to see the baby again, so if problems arise later there will be no one who will call cps again. Some parents here have made the difficult choice to not meet their grandchildren. It is because they know that the child will be used to hold them hostage to whatever schemes the difficult child parents come up with. It has got to be incredibly hard, but in the long run it may be a choice you have to make. Even with-o the situation with your husband's health, you should not babysit. It will just end up tearing you apart emotionally. It will add a huge amt of stress to your life, which you truly do not need. What we do and what we "should" do are not always the same. No matter what you decide, you have total support. Sometimes you have to do what you have to do. I am so sorry that you have to deal with this baby crisis on top of husband's health and the other stresses in your life. babies should be a joyous addition to a family. Too often they are not because the parents are involved with drugs and alcohol. {{{{{hugs}}}}} [/QUOTE]
