Old Friend, Drug Addiction, Baby on the Way, God Mother!!! HELP!!!?
Question by Rin: Old friend, drug addiction, baby on the way, god mother!!! HELP!!!?
Sorry if my question was not really a question, but it is an odd situation I am in and I need some advice!!
I was best friends with a girl since I was 10 years old. We hung out just about everyday until we turned 17 years old. At that point in time she was starting to hang out with the wrongs friends and got into drugs. Now I am 23 years old, married and live a happy life without any drama or craziness. It seems as though every time she gets on the right path again she calls me. (She has been on and off drugs since she was 17!) Well she keeps on losing my number or maybe just keeps getting hooked on drugs, but called me today after not speaking for over a year. She said that everyone she knows is a screw up but me and wants me to be the god parent of her soon to be son! As you know I didn’t talk to her for a whole year and had NO idea she was even pregnant! Well in shock that she found me again and completely overwhelmed I said I would get back to her. I have NO idea what to do. In a way I owe it to the baby to have a normal life if god forbid something happens to her (which there is a high chance of happening given her past) or I try again to keep her out of my life and close the door in her face which seems mean. So advice pleeaaaasssseeeeee!!!!
I think she pops into my life because I am the only thing that has ever been stable in her life. Well I am assuming this, she says even though we never speak I am still her best friend. Whenever we speak she brings up what we spoke about dealing with our future. Example when we were kids we dreamed of living together and having this perfect life, but that has obviously changed and she doesn’t see that! In a way I feel bad for the child, she is not a bad person, but should not have had a child. I think the longest she stood in one place was 3 months. She is constantly moving and her life is never together. Right now she has no heat or electric!!! If this is the case will I legally get the child???

I think you should talk you YOUR family first. Your family comes first, and if they will be affected, they should have a say in it as well. Good Luck (your wife’s opinion is the one and only one I would listen to)
