[QUOTE="Andy, post: 408081, member: 5096"] Hugs! It seems so much more personal and hurtful when our kids fail in the area that we publicaly work in (like your work with the addiction counseling). It is so common - pastor's kids being the most disrespectful, police officer kids breaking the law, teacher's kids being disrespectful to other teachers, etc. etc. It is like when they work so hard to rebel against their parents that they know these are the areas to hurt us the most. It really is our worst nightmare to have our children mess up in the area we are most compassionate about. I work in a chemical dependency facility that is mostly committed clients. We get several pregnant ladies that are committed through their pregnancy for the protection of the baby. I never hear where the babies go, I think some get to stay with their mom but most are likely put into foster homes or up for adoption? Just guessing. Anyway, through your work, are you aware of a facility that you can try to get her into? A place that would both work on her addictions and plan for a safe placement of the baby? I think there are also "homes" for pregnant ladies to live and get a variety of support from until the baby arrives? I would stay strong in the "I have done all I know how to help you. Since you are not taking my advice, you need to find another way to support yourself." and offer her the resources of talking to a facility where she can live during her pregnancy. [/QUOTE]
