[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 229269, member: 84"] mb I know the situation looks bleak right now. Your post reminded me of how I felt when I saw Nichole's preg test result even though I'd suspected it for some time. She was in such a bad place then. So completely unstable, only 15 for Godsakes, and a controling boyfriend on top of it all. I was terrified for her, the baby, and just couldn't see anything good coming out of it. I was angry that she nor boyfriend had used bc. And that although she was pregant, it was all falling on husband and I. She was so very immature then, couldn't even consistantly care for a pet, let alone a baby. But once Aubrey was in her arms.....That was when the change in Nichole began. It was bumpy at first, with alot of false starts and back sliding. But Aubrey motivated her like nothing else ever could. And I forced myself to stay in the background and just be Nana no matter how tempted I was to step in and take over. And I watched with amazement as Nichole stepped into the mother role and did what she'd learned from example. I watched as she began to mature and realize what was important to both her and Aubrey. The change has been dramatic. And it continues. Instead of being a total disaster, she's made me proud. I know it doesn't always work out that way. But many times it does. Nichole tells me that Aubrey is the one who makes her brave enough to keep pushing forward. That Aubrey had saved her from the worst in herself. And she also tells me that it most likely wouldn't have happened that way if I'd swooped in and taken over. I forced her to face the responsibility head on. If someone had told me right after reading that pregnancy test that it would've worked out for Nichole the way it has.......I'd have never believed it. At 15 she was horribly immature, and emotional mess, and even suicidal. Miracles do happen. And sometimes a wee little baby can bring out the best in a person. I pray that will happen for your difficult child. (((hugs))) [/QUOTE]
