[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 431008, member: 84"] (((((hugs)))))) First piece of advice? Dear SB, get your fanny off the booze and into treatment for any drugs. (I can't remember if drugs were involved in the equation or not) And when she argues, and she may, you might want to inform her that in certain places if she tests positive for drugs/alcohol while pregnant.......or gives birth to an addicted baby, well let's just say it won't be pretty. Not to mention damage done to the baby while she's partying it up, if she refuses to give up the party lifestyle. I hate to be blunt, but she's not just SB anymore. IF she's pregnant, there is another human being who is completely innocent to figure into the picture. This may be a motivation for her to get it together. It might not. If it were me, I'd talk with her. It doesn't hurt to try. I'd attempt to stay calm (ok not easy I know) but I'd be brutally honest with her about the effects her current lifestyle will have on the baby ect. I'm so sorry. You've already been to heck and back on this roller coaster ride with SB. You shouldn't have to deal with this too. Me? I'd talk to her because it's my grandchild, and whether she kept it or gave it up, I'd want it to have the best start possible. I'd talk to her because she's my child and the slim chance this new life may be what saves her from herself. Not saying what you should do. You're the only one who can do that. Just saying what I'd do in your place. I can imagine the range of emotions you must be feeling. Prayers going up for both you and SB. [/QUOTE]
