I know that is tough. For me that is what makes the pregnancy real and I can relax a little. I hope everything will be ok. I will let you know about my appointment on Nov 13th. <BR/><BR/>Are you having any symptoms yet?

I have some experience with this sort of thing, but I won't get into it unless you really want to know.(you can email me, if so)<BR/><BR/>Part of me understands your husband's feelings and thinks he may be right.<BR/><BR/>Another part of me feels sorry that your brother won't be able to have Thanksgiving with his family.<BR/><BR/>I do believe that you should do what feels right to you. If you don't feel it's safe or healthy to have him around your children then he shouldn't be.<BR/><BR/>I'm so sorry.

I know you love him, and I also know you KNOW him. He is a sweet person. He is also a junkie. And he is violent sometimes - I am remembering the day out by the pond. I don't think he would hurt the kids, but I don't know that, either. You are making the right decision based on the information you have. Your kids are your priority.Mommygothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14584517101798904292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18175767.post-1161711438723516822006-10-24T10:37:00.000-07:002006-10-24T10:37:00.000-07:00Wow.

And I'm pretty sure he had an undiagnosed mental illness for decades. He too became homeless. Yes, he was missing teeth. He didn't smell good. But he never hurt anyone. They found pictures of my two boys, who he never met, in his pocket when he died, under an overpass in Berkeley. I'd give anything to have him at my Thanksgiving table.Lauren D.

At this point, you have to do what's right for your kids, ya know? and seeing him like that might not be the best thing.<BR/><BR/>Material things can be replaced if they're stolen, but how your kids will remember him will stay forever. if that makes any sense.<BR/><BR/>BTW, love your blog.Angelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06245554563405436101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18175767.post-1161667511826814742006-10-23T22:25:00.000-07:002006-10-23T22:25:00.000-07:00My daughter will be spending her first Thanksgivin...My daughter will be spending her first Thanksgiving away from us - in meth rehab.<BR/>Damn drugs.thisbearbiteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03900703736353722750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18175767.post-1161665808188769202006-10-23T21:56:00.000-07:002006-10-23T21:56:00.000-07:00It's so tough.

The kind that sleeps under bridges and probably prostitutes herself. So I know a little bit about what you speak. Although not really, because family is different. Anyway, shutting that door, and keeping it shut, is completely heartbreaking. ANd I'm sorry.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
