[QUOTE="DDD, post: 571043, member: 35"] I've been there done that. Really it was painful for me. Yeah, sounds silly, but I raised a wonderful easy child who became the object of a girl's affection in college. I totally "knew" she would do anything and everything to become his wife. Sigh! She allegedly was on birth control. I freely encouraged him to use protection. They ended up getting married eight months before my first grandson was born. I followed Emily Post and invited her parents for dinner at our home. Yikes! They were [B]not[/B] horrible people but different from us. Her Mother actually said "I told X that she really made a great catch." WTH! I will never ever ever understand how they have remained married. It has been one of life's biggest disappointments. My other easy child stepson ended up having a son "unexpectedly" when an older RN who loved his "hippie lifestyle" accidentally got pregnant. Yeah...right...you are almost thirty and you don't understand birth control?? Now my easy child/difficult child (a/k/a difficult child#1) is in love with a woman almost ten years older than he. I'm killing myself with self discipline, lol. The trait that drives me nuts LOL is that she always says "ain't". OMG. I am doing my penance on earth. :) I understand and am sending supportive hugs.
