Ds1 is just 17. His gf is also 17. They have known each other a long time as school friends but started a relationship in March.
I am trying my best to let him get on with having a controlling gf but things feel like they are spiralling out of control and I fear my ds will not cope.
She is trying to get pregnant. Something my ds assures me is something he does not want. (& has plenty of condoms to prevent it!) She is also saying she will get engaged to him-he hasn't asked her. She has even chosen the rings and the baby's names.
I have discussed with him the implications of having a baby so young and also the cost (she doesn't work, ds works part time) both live at home.
I know it's not my place to get involved with their relationship but I have a huge fear my ds is about to get trapped.
Having just read another poster describing how she is fearing her ds controlling gf, I feel it is more common than I thought but the whole baby thing is worrying as its life changing.
What do I do? Stand back and be there for him or intervene & talk to the gf?( who by the way stays away as she knows exactly what she is doing)
