My poor daughter

**GMA21** · 12-21-2006, 03:22 PM

I have been worried about my oldest DD because I haven't heard from her in a couple weeks & she lives in Ga. & I live in Wa. state

. well I finally got an email from her today & I had every right to worry because apparently she was in a car accident {her fault}she said she only has some bruises & a sprain

& the

is alright {she's 3 1/2 months pregnant} but she got fired from her job because she couldn't make in to work

It's bad enough they got mad at her because she had to miss some time for dr. appointments for the

as my daughter had complications but it turned out alright

Now she most likely has to sell her house because she can't afford it & her

right now is the only one working & he isn't making enough to support them plus the car was the only one they had. She is sooo

They were planning on getting married in a couple months but now she says that they are under soo much stress that they don't know if they can even afford to do that right now.

They already changed the date from July to Feb. because they found out that they are expecting. Her living so far away I have no idea how to help her out {not that she's asked} but as a mother we want to help our kids in any way we can. To make things worse when she moved there {it will be 1 year on Monday} some girl stoled her laptop so now she can only email me from her cell phone which is better than nothing but I was going to suggest to her try to work from home like a lot of moms do with their computers but now she can't even do that. They did catch the girl who stoled it & she has a year to pay my daughter back a certain amount of

.
Sorry for the long post, normally I don't post things like this but I worry & miss her so much & don't know what to do to help her since she is so far away from me.

I'm sorry she is having such a rough time right now. It always makes it worse when they are far away and you can't help them.

I'm so sorry to hear about your daughter's situation. Maybe this news will help? When DH and I got married at the courthouse the cost was $25.00 (for the paperwork) and we tipped the preacher who performed the service another $25.00. So she really can afford to get married after all! (hope that helps some)

I'm so sorry to heard about your DD troubles.

When it rains sometimes it pours. I know how you feel, we have a DD that is really having a tough time too. But sometimes it's better to step back and let them work things out. It's amazing how resourceful kids can be!

I hope things turn out well for her, life can be so difficult at times. I know how you feel, my dd lives across the country from me also.

I'm really sorry this is happening to your daughter. At least you heard from her so you know she and the baby are okay. I will say prayers for your family.

**GMA21** · 12-21-2006, 09:36 PM

Thanks ladies, being so far away from her there really isn't much I can do. I did give her a couple tips that could help but that was all. She a very strong determined young woman, she has been ever since she was a kid. And I know they will work things out.
telephus44 I emailed you.

Glad you shared this GMA21, gives us a chance to support you and wish her all the best. Tough being a parent and not be able to do much to help. She'll find her way and be all the stronger for it. So glad she & the baby weren't badly hurt.
It'll be ok, it'll just take a little time and figuring out.

**ubumartin** · 12-22-2006, 08:43 PM

Sending you hugs and prayers.

**auntie2many** · 12-22-2006, 09:08 PM

So sorry to hear of all that your daughter is going through. She is in my thoughts. Glad to hear that the baby or her were not too badly hurt in the accident. Thinking of you too. It is hard to live far away from loved ones.

**GMA21** · 12-23-2006, 02:33 PM

Thank you ladies

. I'm puting together a bunch of things she will need for the baby as a surprise.

It is so hard as mothers to let go of our adult children. We worry about them. I have 2 daughters that live away from the rest of us and worry about them all the time. Sorry you daughter is having a hard time. I will send up a prayer for her and I am so glad she wasn't hurt badly in the wreck...Blessing...Kathy
