[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 763204, member: 4152"] Oh my. I have an idea of how you feel, and I have a good idea of how difficult it surely is. One thing to keep in the back of your mind, if she has made good choice in the past, there is a nice chance she will come to her senses (so to speak) in the future. Good thoughts for the baby and that the father at least helps out in some manner if they don't stay as a couple...which sounds like might not be the end of the world if they don't. And there is always adoption if she is open to it at all. Agree...many young women have been able to do well as a single person or have ended up with a kind new husband, who is also kind to their child. I DID actually go through an incredibly rough year when our "good" child, for whatever reason, turned into a tortured, trouble, wayward soul when he was about 17. You could of knocked me over with a feather. He did a complete about face. It's a long story, involving some tough love...a lot of tears. He got a job he loved and between that and a very nice girl he met....and a lot of prayers...it all COMPLETELY turned back around. He went to college, worked PT while doing so, got straight A's. It was a miracle. And today, he is a hardworking , happy and successful family man. He had "it" all along. What went wrong that one year straight from hexx...I'll never completely know. Try not to lose hope. I know this doesn't look ok right this second. Take excellent care of yourself. See a therapist ...perhaps only for a short time if that is all that is needed. Eat healthy, get rest....do what you need to take excellent care of yourself mind and body. And pray. [/QUOTE]
