[QUOTE="jbrain, post: 82187, member: 3450"] Hi Jo, I know from your other thread about the pregnancy. Just wanted to say I support you and difficult child, no matter what the decision is and I sure understand you not wanting to raise another kid! My difficult child 1 was pregnant 3 times in the past yr--each time she miscarried and I have to say I was grateful for that. I knew I was not going to help her with a baby. The boyfriend has 2 children already and one lives with his exwife and one lives with his mom. I am sure he does not contribute to their support and he never sees them. Also, my difficult child 1 would never do volunteer work or get a job or go to school while she lived at home. It wasn't til she had to sink or swim on her own that she got a job. Working and earning money has changed her in a way nothing else could. She now has confidence and enjoys knowing she can take care of herself, that she doesn't have to depend on anyone else. I always felt that this would be the case if we could just get her going--but we were not able to get her going, only desperation did that. Good luck, Jo! Our dtrs seem so much alike... Jane [/QUOTE]
