[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 29571, member: 3419"] Hi Stacy, welcome. {{cyberhugs}} I echo what everyone here has said. by the way, are your oldest and his girlfriend thinking about dating others because she may place the child for adoption? Otherwise, she has no clue how time consuming, emotionally consuming, and expensive it is to raise a child. They need to take this seriously. Plus, your son is liable for child support for the rest of his life if he is listed on the b certif as the father. Someone needs to read him the riot act. All you can do is inform him, then let go. Don't give them financial assistance. They haven't asked yet but I suspect it will happen down the line. Not to mention asking you to babysit! However, since they are both of legal age, you have no personal legal obligation. Small blessings. So sorry about your 15-yr-old, and that the scare tactics didn't last more than one night. (sigh.) Again, you've gotten some good advice here. What's going on with-the 13-yr-old? Any feedback? Reaction? Don't ignore him or her (sorry, no mention in your note... couldn't tell if it was a boy or girl). But the "good" ones tend to be ignored. They need as much love and attention as the others. I know it's hard and you've got a lot on your plate. You are not alone. This is a great community. [/QUOTE]
