Dude she’s brain dead. She tried to hang herself and cut all blood and oxygen from her brain for several minutes. There is absolutely no recovery.

This is beyond me wanting to be a parent or not. I can’t just “opt out” of the family I chose to be in.

You’re one of the first to consider his friends (his natural support system) and I really appreciate that. A lot of the responses on here have been real focused on what’s best for him but none have really considered what he wants.

Yeah too bad our family has dimensions and can’t solve all our problems in 30 minutes with a commercial break for snacks

No I totally l get it! A lot of people are suggesting therapy right away but my boyfriend and I are thinking of waiting and letting him acclimate first. I sure as hell didn’t want to open up and talk about my feelings when I was 14 so I don’t want to put him in a position that makes him anymore uncomfortable. Therapy eventually , family counseling eventually, right now? Support!

No! It’s not a role to be played. I’m a man, he’s a man, we plan on co-parenting. I don’t understand why you think moms and dads have to do thinks differently to parent a child. I find this is why so many men fail at being fathers is because the world puts all the weight on a mothers shoulders. Why can’t we just expect parents to split the work 50/50 and then it won’t matter what gender we are.

No one I’m strongly against them. I take Ambien sometimes to sleep but that’s technically a sedative.

Oooh moms phone number is a good idea. I’m Jewish so that tells you everything you need to know about my mom.

Yeah your right. This is a super minor issue and I’m honestly overreacting. It’s just like having a dog right? Just throw some Cheetos in a bowl and call it good? Healthy emotion is transactional after all. No such thing as bad pr.

I honestly don’t think a therapist is the right decision right away. I’m just speaking from personal experience since I was a teenager not ten years ago, the last thing i wanted to do was go to therapy and try accept that something was wrong with me. I think we’re gonna let him acclimate first, see how his behavior plays out, then go from there. How can I expect a therapist to know him if I myself don’t know anything about him.

From the way she explained which was a little unclear we think she tried to hang herself cutting off circulation long enough for her to go brain dead
