prayers will be with your son zanne

Zanne, tried to e-mail but guess I'm to old.

I know the feeling, son joined the Navy 14 yrs ago this month.
He has seen a lot & been thru plenty. Now married w/ a wonderful wife & 2 wonderful boys. You raised him right, you will be with him constantly. God will take care of him.
He knows you will tolerate no less.
Even God fears the wrath of a mother,

Blessings on you & yours

My daughter trying to overdose on pills at the age of 15 because she was sad because her mom left us and we had gotten divorced. Then admitting her into a behavioral clinic and watching my son cry during counseling sessions with her, and that was ten years after the divorce. Raising them by myself caused hair loss and sleepless nights but I would do it all over again except for the suicide attempt.

Brave man

Many Kudos

I'm not sure which was worse:

Finding out in February my 15 year old daughter was pregnant
or
Telling my children the following January I had Breast Cancer.

Is it possible to be the worst and one of the best at the same time? Just found out yesterday that I am going to be a grandma. My daughter is only 17 and just signed up for the Navy. That career choice I believe will change now but she has a great head on her shoulders so I'm not to worried in that respect. She called her father all day nervous but excited to tell him her news. When he finally called her back he told her that she had no choice but to give the baby up for adoption and if she refused he would disown her. He also forbid her from telling her grandparents. I think she knew he would be disappointed but she never expected the foul things he said to her.

whats worst is having a baby while you have a baby .... but every one tells me that all will be ok.... i'm 21 and have 9 month old and i'm 4 months pregnant... i live at home with my parents because the father didnt know what he wanted.. us or the party life of drugs and whores.

That's all I want to do reading some of these posts.

geez Cali What a jerk your ex is to say those things to your daughter and hurt her like that!!

cali.....with my first pregnancy my mom told me to get an abortion.... i told her no... after she started to go to the ultra sounds she started saying keep it but get fixed.. mind you i was 19 turning 20. after i had my son my mom was like dont get fixed but get on birthcontrol.. i did and now i am 4 months pregnant with my second baby.... my first is only 9 months old... she is doing the same song and dance.. she has the right to make her own choices when it comes to her body... and he needs to buck up and relise that maybe having a grandchild isnt so bad..... things could be worse..

The hardest part of being a parent for me was when my son was born 2 months early and had surgery at 6 days old to make a hole in his belly just below his belly button for his bladder to drain to prevent it from backing up into his kidneys anymore. And being a single mother not having his father there because he would rather do drugs and party than take care of his son. I have not seen or heard from him since I was 4 months prego now my son is 2 and has been diagnosed with Autisim. But I dread the day whan my son is old enough to realize what a daddy is and starts to ask about his.

I heard this once and it's always stuck with me:

"Sometimes the hardest part of being a parent is knowing when NOT to parent".

That letting go thing again...

leaving my 8 week premature daughter in the hospital for three weeks. she's 3 now.

Feeling rather down, son leaves in the nxt few days. Know he will come home again, but can't help but worry.
Great Man in Harms Way, as are so many others.
God Bless 7 watch over them all.

Your son is in my prayers as are you,, Angels will guide him a once again bring him home into your loving arms,,,
