One of my best friends is 56 and has a one year old. Should he give her up because it might be hard when he’s old?

If one person tells me I am wrong, I do not get to concerned about it, but if several people tell me I am wrong, I just might be wrong. You asked for our thoughts, you got them. You can reject all those thoughts or you can reconsider your thoughts. what would wisdom do?

My youngest son and his wife were married in 2006. By about 2009 and still no babies, they decided to have some tests done. I will spare you the details of what a male must do in order to find out why there are no little wrigglers, OUCH! Anyway they decided to go with artificial insemination; two times! Both times she miscarried. The specialist discovered that she has HDFN which means her body attacks the fetus and kills it. $20,000 down the drain, so they adopted two children, a girl and a boy and both have the same mother! Everyone is happy!!!

We aren't all the same people here.I don't know if you're still reading this thread. I came from a screwed up family. Life is hard and sometimes hard doesn't go away. Buy locks for safekeeping your credit cards. Don't keep much cash at home.
Cry on a therapist's shoulder if you can afford it. A good therapist is like a trusted friend. Don't tell everyone even at church. People like to gossip, even people you don't expect to do so.
Pray for God to help you and your wife. Pray often and make it your goal to please God. This is what I have done and still do. Don't judge forum members as disgusting. They probably haven't suffered as much as you. Some people learn that when they can't be compassionate they should just be quiet. And remember, they don't have all the answers. I've experienced a lot of emotional pain. I just keep on. It helps me to care when someone else is hurting.
Prayers for your family

You know, it would be easy to say to practice tough love but I don't think that's what I would do.
One of my sisters got pregnant before she got married. She went through a lot in life, but she's a mature woman now who shows God's love to others. Some of us just take longer to grow up and others.
I'm 55 and some days I think I'm still trying to grow up.
Attended the funeral of a mentor this week and was so impressed with how her life influenced so many people for good. It kind of made me wonder what I was doing with mine.

Face reality. My mother did the right thing when she left her third husband who molested minors, got violent when he was drinking, and eventually drank himself to death. Not all mothers make good choices when they marry.

Well, sometimes what we think we can live with doesn't turn out for the best even if it was our choice.

I'm in my seventies. I'm not fit to handle teens or any age kids. I fall asleep several times a day and can't even keep house properly or keep up with the laundry.
