[quote=Anonymous]I am sort of at a loss. My sister called me from our hometown in West Virginia. She announced her pregnancy.  She struggles with addiction, mental illness (resistant to treatment), criminal activity (including getting caught up with men who are criminals) and basically cannot function as an adult. I raised her son who is 18 and a freshman in college. I took him on as a single woman in the middle of medical residency in New York City when she was put in prison for a drug crime. She made her way out and we had a distant relationship. She has never, ever really tried to make a real relationship with her son. I am now not a single woman, but married with three other kids who are 15, 13, and 11. We have a very stable life in the NOVA burbs.

The thing that put a chill in my spine was that she said...well, if things go sideways, I'll just give 'em to you. I'm not worried.

She refuses to get an abortion.

Our mother is long gone (10 years) and our father is in dementia care nearby me and honestly probably only has a few years left if I was being optimistic. I manage his care.

I am so upset. I am so scared for this child. I have to tell my husband and unlike before when my nephew was a take it or leave it, I have no clue how to tell him and I know myself. I can't leave that child if she bails on the child.

I appreciate any prayers, thoughts or ideals.  [/quote]
