I just found out that one of my best friends, Sarah, is pregnant. Let me rewind a bit and give you some background.
First of all, there was a scare about 4 months back that she was pregnant. She was really excited about it and was making all these plans. Then, about a week later, she got her period. Of course, she was dissapointed. I, on the other hand, was relieved. The girl can't even take care of a dog (she is the one I adopted my dog from), let alone a baby.
Since then, things between her boyfriend (John) have been rocky. He has a SEVERE drinking problem. He treats her like shit and is drunk 90% of the time. Seriously, the guy wakes up and has a beer. Its insane. The last month or so, Sarah has tried to crack down on it. She keeps threatening things if he doesn't get it under control. He does it again, though, and she just keeps forgiving him.
Recently (okay like 2 days ago), John called AA to see what it takes for him to start coming to meetings. He has to come in for an "interview" to see where he is at, and then he can start the Wednesday night meetings. So, he hasn't even started to go and Sarah has high hopes that this will change everything.
She comes into work tonight and says she has something big to tell me. She stands in front of me for a long time, and then pulls out this pregnancy test to show it to me. Good, God I almost crapped myself. I could give 1,001 reasons why she should NOT have a child.
I will have to write more about this later. I am pretty upset. I spent about 20 minutes crying about it after she left.
