[QUOTE="helpme, post: 327988, member: 8202"] >I think you're going to need an objective third party to get involved. A minister, therapist, probation officer, school counselor; someone like that. Yes, I think that's exactly what I am going to do. Yes, what I meant was that she has no relationship with them and becomes a completely different person whenever they are discussed, involved, or their drama erupts and flows into her life. More so for her I think it is the embarrassment of their behavior and wondering if people think the same of her because she is related to them. Anger and confusion are very hard for her to verbalize. Their father acts as if we are the crazy ones and she gets so confused so quickly. I spoke with him yesterday, since difficult child 1 called to tell me he graduated from HS. I'd sort of mentioned money at graduation a while back, but after the last money I gave (xmas and birthday) bought a large tattoo down his belly, I said to myself, boy that was stupid alright. No more money I said dummy. I thought I'd be happy that he finally graduated, but to be truthful, knowing he was just passed through, I couldn't seem to force myself to care. And knowing that he is only getting probation for two years means the child will think he can get away with murder and not suffer any consequences. And, without a job and the eviction looming, I thought oh great, now he's gonna get into more trouble. Thanks for listening. I think I know a great special education teacher easy child 3 will open up and talk to. [/QUOTE]
