Just checking in. I hope you are doing well. Sorry your projects have come to a halt. I hope you can find something else to do that keeps your mind busy.
It seems like you are making plans and doing a good job with GAL. That's half the battle IMHO.
Good luck with the girls. I was 19 when I had my s. It can be tough, but when I went back to school, I was really focused. I know I had to take advantage of the opportunity. I would see some college kids coming in hung-over or skip class... I had to get down to business. I am sure she will work it out.
I hope she is able to be true to herself. Make sure you reinforce that. She can't *save* this guy. It is up to her to look out for herself and her baby. He needs to step up.
I remember when I told my mom I was pregnant, she handed me the newspaper and said, look for an apartment. She said, you want to act like a grown-up, you will be one. Some may think it was mean, but it was the best thing she could have done for me.
I still had a bit of a child-like mentality and it opened my eyes and matured me quickly. We struggled for a while. It was tough, but I worked very hard and live a pretty comfortable life now. Nothing extravagant, but way better than when I started out!
Sorry to hijack.... just thought I'd share. Hang in there, LT.
