Oh my friends. Just when I think life is starting to settle down, my niece (the one that was released from prison in May, who is living with us until she is able to get along on her own, and who's children we have been raising for the past 5 years), dropped a huge bomb on me this morning. I've been kind of numb all day because of it; not knowing what to say or how to handle it. She informed me this morning that she is pregnant. She and the kids are still recovering from sever PTSD caused by all the abuse from her ex (who is still in prison). She and the kids are not emotionally ready to take care of a baby. I'm not ready to take care of a baby. The baby daddy is someone she met about 6 weeks ago. It doesn't sound like he is anymore emotionally ready than she is, but is willing to help out with the baby. My husband and I were afraid of something like this happening; tried to caution her. I know right now, I am only seeing the negative aspects of the situation. I'm sure that as time goes on, I will feel differently, but for now, I'm doing a lot of praying for guidance and understanding. Thanks for listening.
