The First Bump In Our Road

When I vowed to help A make the motherhood journey, I never expected it to be an easy one. No journey worth embarking on, ever is. I worried about A the whole time I was away in Arizona. She has been throwing up small amounts of blood and we still have no definite answers as to why. So I felt helpless being six hours away. What if she needed me? I did have my cell phone, but even that was not enough to keep me from worrying.

I got a text from A on Friday. I just said that she broke up with her boyfriend again. I responded with a question. She did not answer. I called the phone number...no answer. I got worried. The worry did not end as I was unable to get hold of her until tonight, when I stopped by her house to make sure she was ok. She is okay, but had a very emotionally tumultuous weekend.

The break up stirred up so much stress in A, that it brought on a migraine. She took Tylenol...a lot of it. So much that somebody deemed it necessary to take her to the hospital to make sure she and the baby were going to be ok. Apparently, we need to have a talk about what is acceptable dosage for medicine. I'm not going to rule out the possibility that she got so upset over their break up that she took too much medicine to get back at him, or make him feel bad. I don't know what she was thinking. We will be having a talk tomorrow.

Above all, I really feel bad for not being available when she needed me. I wonder if I had been around, she may have come to me instead of doing something so dangerous.

Don't be so hard on yourself. Even if you weren't there physically, you still were there as a support system. I am praying for 'A'...and god bless you for being you!!

Oh Kadi do NOT blame yourself! I know as a Mom that is the first thing you want to do. And I know as a teenage pregnant girl, the first thing you want to do is let someone else take the blame. But as you said you are Making A Mommy. And part of that is her taking the blame for her choices. Whether it be right, wrong, etc. She has to realize that she is no longer responsible for just herself and does NOT get the luxury to act melodramatic when things are not right in her life! Please, Please do NOT take the blame. It hurts my heart. I placed blame when I was in that situation and it's not something easily repaired or gotten over. She has an angel in you and I hope she realizes that soon. God Bless you Kadi for being such a magnificent mom and person. This world needs more Kadi's!

she would have done that regardless! She does need to understand that this is not only about HER and HIM anymore...it's not your fault that she is going through this...she is blessed to have you in her life! :)

Don't be so hard on yourself, Kadi. I suspect she would have done what she did no matter who was around.

Teens and breaking up are a tumultuous affair, as you probably remember. I know I do! Breaking up in those days was so wraught with drama.

Regardless, I hope she and the baby are okay. And yes, I definitely think a talk is in order.
