[QUOTE="Centurion, post: 490966, member: 11968"] Thanks for the welcome and responses. Mom lived far away since 2004. Just visited from time to time and i let her take house for weekends. Now mom phones lots but it's complicated. Kids don't want to live with her. Mom's an AA person. Immeresed in program. She grew up dirt poor, divorced, dead beat dad and welfare mom. Father died from being a drunk when she was in Gr 4. Mom claims sexual abuse fom mother's boyfriends (seems like a scene from a movie but who knows, maybe it';s true). As time goes on mom seems to digress and is more obtuse......can't see her AA programs doing much good.She hates me more and more.I did nothing but neglect her due to work sked and moving. She grew up with police calls and children's social workers. Whenever there is a blow up i.e I try to take daughter's phone away etc. daughter phones mom and mom phones cops and social workers. That's the only drama. I dont drink or go out very much. Just sports and work. I did not drive my daughter hard in sports. I know a few things about kids, school, etc and how diferent it is now. Anyhoo, daughter was top 1/3 class till Gr 7 (new school new town etc). She slipped half way thru and Grade 8 she had a hard time making it to class. She managed and is in the top level Grade 9. She is managing againg buit she goes out all most every night, her room is trash and she does very little to help with chores. I can see her getting 50% in class. She is on that damn cell phone texting 24 /7. Her mother pays for the phone but thats it. No child support since Jan 2004. I have an 11 year old son. Of course he's just like a yellow lab and everybody loves him except his sister. Yes her nose is out of joint over brother since the day he was born..but only in front of me. There's more..she claims no drugs.....how do i find out? [/QUOTE]
