[QUOTE="Bean, post: 463141, member: 8620"] Totally not easy, but probably good for you right now. It's hard not to get trapped in the cycle of Crisis and Response. Since this was something you dreaded would/could happen, I'm sure it hits that "Crisis" bone in you, invoking an almost physical and emotional response. It is hard to turn yourself away from that and force a different reaction. Pregnancy happens in homes EVERYWHERE. With difficult children, and with straight-A, darned "good" kids. Remember that. I was reminded of that when I was surprised by a very nerdy kid telling me he had a kid at home. Sixteen when he became a dad. You would have never guessed this kid to be a father, let alone have a girlfriend and be knocking boots. But there it was. Hang in there. [/QUOTE]
