C.S.
My mother had my twin sisters at 42. She had wonderful support from myself and 2 other older sisters. It was a lot of work to have two little ones for her, but she managed.
My Father stayed around until the girls were about 4 years old, then he left. It did get rather challenging, to raise two energetic little girls and make ends meet. Remember, it is possible you can make them pay, but visits are only if they want to. Although we all thought he would visit with them and help with share, he didn't.
She retired after they were both already adults, however, they both have mental issues, so they still live with her. I don't see either one of them going on their own.
Sorry if this sounds negative, it is a true series of events.
