[QUOTE="leaving, post: 723759, member: 22505"] [I][B]Was he adopted, maybe at an older age? Is he a stepchild? Difficult birth parent? Did he have difficult early years? [/B][/I] No, not adopted or stepchild. He is third of five. The only difficulty in the early years was a prolonged stay in the hospital by me with the youngest child being a high risk pregnancy. [I][QUOTE="Is there a father? HIS father? To help you with this?[/QUOTE][/I] Yes, I've been married 24 years. We had a rough couple years about five years ago.
