[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 668931, member: 18516"] I completely understand why you are filled with so much emotion right now. First and foremost is confirmation that she is pregnant. As for what her parents will think of you that's on them. If they have to opportunity to meet you in person and get to know you I don't see how they could think anything bad of you. I've never met you in person but I know that you and Jabber are good, honest, hardworking people. I also worried about meeting my daughter in law's parents. My concerns mirrored yours. They are lovely people and they do not harbor any ill feelings towards me or my husband. We send each other Christmas cards. They appreciate that I keep the grandkids best interest at heart. I know for me, I used to harbor so much shame where my son was concerned. I always worried about what other people would think and the classic "Freudian" assumption to blame the mother. It took time to move past that. I had to keep reminding myself that while I was not a perfect parent I set a good example for my son, he was taught right from wrong and lived in a very stable environment. I did not cause him to make the poor choices he did. I decided that if people were going to judge me by the life choices my son has made then I don't need or want them in my life. Who knows what the future will hold for them. Try not to project to much out there. I know, easier said than done. Hopefully the truth will be revealed soon. [/QUOTE]
