It looks like I'm soon to become a gee-ma, as my son has got someone pregnant after a short 'fling'. As she's 39 she decided to keep the baby, understandably in my view. He is 32. Unfortunately she would have liked a relationship with my son, but he does not feel that way. He is coming to terms with the situation, but is not enthralled as the prospect of navigating this unexpected momentous event. He is a financially insecure musician. He is in sporadic contact with her and talking of maybe being at the birth, though of course there has been no paternity test as yet. I've asked him to give her my number, but he hasn't yet. She lives closer to me than to him. I'm retired and financially secure, though on a pension and divorced. I have been feeling more emotional than I expected about all this.
I'm asking for advice, maybe reassurance, about how to navigate this all too common situation. Have you experience of similar? All helpful thoughts appreciated.
