I'm 61, retired firefighter/paramedic. Married for the 3rd time almost a year ago. Third time is the charm, right? 2 boys from the first marriage, now 36 and 34. 12 years ago my world flipped upside down finding out my 2nd wife was pregnant after both of us had procedures to prevent. Yep. He was born at 23 weeks. 1 lb 8.0.0.5 oz and 13". Spent 4.0.0.5 months in the NICU with 4 surgeries. Mildly moderate cerebral palsy. Everything good until he was 7. Mom left us both. He is now 12, 13 next month. My wife is great with him. My oldest son took after me and became a paramedic. After 18 years effective yesterday, he had to hang it up due to PTSD. We have been having nothing but problems with my 12 year old's teachers this year. Bringing out the big guns now. That's all for now.
