[QUOTE="Lil, post: 651860, member: 17309"] Terry, whatever happens here - it's not the end of the world. She may terminate the pregnancy. She may not. Neither one will be the end of her life. Unwed mothers have babies every day. Sure it's hard on them and the families. But it is not the end of the world. Your son may grow up and step up, get a job, pay child support. A rough entry into adulthood, but not one thousands (millions?) of young men haven't faced. Or he may shirk his responsibilities entirely - also something thousands of young men have done. You may be a part of the child's life. You may not be. Both happen to grandparent's every day. This is just one step in the journey. You've read my posts. You know how much trouble I have distancing myself from my son and his life. You have read my struggle to...wanting to fix things...wanting to fix him...wanting it all to be the life I'd planned. On a bad day, it looks like everything was for nothing because he's wasting his life. On a good day, I see that even if he ruins his life, mine goes on. I have a great husband. I have friends. I have a good life. No matter what happens to my son - I can continue to have a good life. On an average day, I remember that this is just one step in the journey. Silly as it sounds, I repeat the line from The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel: It will be alright in the end, and if it is not alright, then it is not the end. Hang in there. ((HUGS)) [/QUOTE]
