[QUOTE="dragonfly57, post: 764199, member: 32228"] Hi Nomad, Thank you so much for taking the time to read my post and for your thoughtful and heartfelt reply. I take comfort in your words but I am so sorry you have had to bear this pain as well. I am so sorry for any parent that has to be here, but grateful at the same time for the support. I do not think it is weird that you pay her to use birth control. I know too well what the consequences and trauma caused to a baby born under these circumstances are. It is heartbreaking for the entire family. When I found out my daughter was pregnant with her second child I was gutted. The circumstances rob us of the normal joyous reaction we should be experiencing. She had lost custody of her son, my grandson, 3 years prior and then child protective services stepped in and she lost custody of a prematurely born baby girl, addicted to methadone and is a miracle she even survived. My daughter did not put one healthy thing in her body the entire time she was pregnant. I swore I would not get attached to this child. But I did. I held her and that was it for me. I was in love, then she was gone... so no, I do not think you are weird at all...just realistic. Peace to you and yours. [/QUOTE]
