[QUOTE="goldenguru, post: 196525, member: 1545"] Hi hex - I can so relate. My difficult child got preggers at 17 too. She has 2 friends who maintain contact - but their relationships changed greatly. Not much in common anymore. My daughter really doesn't fit anywhere. Her young friends are all doing young person things. And women who are married and parenting are much older than her. It's a lonely journey. I'm sorry. On a different note: I would caution you NOT to do too much for your daughter after she has the baby. Our daughter lived with us for about 6 months and we make the mistake of doing too much. When our daughter left home with-our granddaughter she really wasn't prepared for how much work parenting, and cooking and cleaning, and laundry and paying bills, etc. was. I really did her a disservice. Please learn from my mistakes. :( Having a grand in your home is a really exceptional wonderful privilege. Enjoy. [/QUOTE]
