[QUOTE="HeadlightsMom, post: 638137, member: 18284"] OW --- Welcome to this group. So sorry you qualify for our club, but it surely sounds like you do. Our hearts and support are with you. Great responses here. A handful of things stand out as I read them. For you --- Your health, happiness, safety and sanity matter enormously! You are NOT a monster -- whether they stay or not. We had a similar scenario with our difficult child (now 24). He now has a 4-yo son. We were spared the decision you have, though, as our difficult child left them all for drugs. Fortunately, our grandson's mother is fantastic and we have remained close with her and her whole family. For your difficult child --- She has clear problems, sadly. I, also, am concerned about not just mental health diagnoses, but drug diagnoses. The 2 go together so often like peas in a pod. Not always, but..... She sounds like she has much promise. However......why be with a boyfriend like that? Her boyfriend is abusive toward her. Something is "misfiring" inside her (and, clearly, inside him, too). Don't know the situation, but it really does scream "drugs" to me (particularly the "disheveled appearance" part). For your grandchild --- The above quote that 2much2recover shared is, sadly, very true. For a brief period of time (2-3 weeks?), our grandson's situation devolved into this. Fortunately, our difficult child left. But it left a mark on our grandson for a long time -- fear, distraught, safety risk. It was very brief, but it remains imprinted vividly in my memory. True, that! [/QUOTE]
