[quote=Anonymous]My mom lost her father at 8. His death was immediately followed by some family drama with her paternal relatives wanting custody of the kids for purely monetary reasons. It ended with my grandmother fleeing with and hiding them. They wound up living in really severe poverty until my mom graduated HS. She was extremely traumatized and blocked most of it out. DH’s father left/was put out when he was in HS and died of alcoholism in pretty bad housing circumstances. Like an SRO. DH is a very hands on father and I think it’s because of that. One of my best friends got pregnant at 17. She had intended on an abortion, but her mom had a stroke at the same time and she put it off until it was too late. She was going to surrender for adoption. Then her mom had a second stroke and died. My friend changed her mind and kept the baby. Her daughter is now a brand new neuro resident.[/quote]
