Don't Tell Anyone
Joey said, "I'm gonna tell you something but you can't tell anyone, NOT ANYONE!" I hate it when people say that. I often ask them not to tell me either. But in this case I made the promise...I had to know.
Now I don't feel like I'm betraying him by writing this here. Somehow it feels like a safe place to vent. The "secret":
Joey and Chelsea are trying to have a baby.
Why? They want to. They're both 19. She's a very responsible and practical girl. They love each other.
I have my own ideas about what's going on but no one asked my opinion.
1. They just went through a life-threatening, life-changing experience and don't want to wait in case something happens
again.
2. Joey has HUGE trust issues. People (like his mother) are apt to just disappear. This may be a way to insure Chelsea
doesn't leave.
3. They both want to make things more permanent.
4. Chelsea has said she wants Joey to know she's not staying with him just because she feels sorry for him.
Sometimes, often really, Chelsea comes to me for advice. If she asks what I think I'll tell her. As soon as I figure it out. I just wonder if they know how life changing-having a child can be? Actually, nobody really does know that until it happens.
But just now, I only have an hour to get Joey to rehab and a week to finish getting ready for Christmas.
I pray a lot. And since I don't know what's best for ANYONE or what God's plan is I always pray for a knowledge of God's will for me and the Power to carry it out. And that's my prayer for them.
