[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 737961, member: 13542"] The "pregnancy" would give your daughter enormous leverage over you, the father, the system, everyone and everything. I was just thinking that your daughter is likely extremely smart, high IQ, sharp as a tack......many in my family are like that......brainiacs all over the place......they can talk you into or out of anything at all and do it with a smile.......and then.....once you engage in their perception of reality......it's YOU and me who go off the deep end. I've been involved in so many of theses kind of crazy schemes with my crazy family......I feel as if I have to wear armor around them because you never know when the hits will start coming at you fast and furious and just like your daughter...... it's immediate, it has to happen right now, waiting is a disaster, you're wrong to wait and made wrong for thinking about the past and all of the harm they've done.....it's happened to me so many times that I know the script now and how to respond. My response is always to step back, wait and discuss it with a professional or someone I can trust to tell me the truth. Once I step back and get my footing back, my clarity returns, my resolve returns and my memory suddenly shoots out all the reasons why I should not do what is being asked of me. To me, this sounds like it is your daughter's "end game"......she's finished with her traveling......she's older now and all she needed was to either get pregnant or feign pregnancy and there's her free pass back into your lives where you and Dad can pick up the slack.......forever.
