Tracy,
It sure has been a long time! I feel bad for your circumstances, but you know, someone always has it worse. Always.
I have a friend I'm trying to support who has RSD, RA, and CANCER!! Broken arm and collar bone from an accident. Trying to get to Philly for specialized cancer treatment, but, had a spot on the brain, and recieved some radiation along with laser surgery. Now, all kind of dizziness, and can't get on a plane to get to Philly.
But this is where the doctors want her to be.
Cancer is such a HUGE business, that it's like trying to trust a lawyer. ( to trust an oncologist ).

I'm in a legal battle for more than a decade, lost everything, (which was not a little bit), and my children hate me for it, don't understand the illness and tbi.

So, you can see, Tracy, you've got to be strong. I doubt the 25 y.o. would have to do any more than pay child support, once it's Proven by blood work that it's his child.
BTW, studies have found that the best form of birth control pill, is an aspirin. (Held firmly between the knees). i hope you can appreciate a joke...

You will get through this, Tracy. Nobody is dying. In fact, you may have new life to celebrate!

It's All in your attitude!

I hope it works out well for you!

Pete
