[QUOTE="Suz, post: 159145, member: 29"] Man, my heart goes out to you. I know when Rob was younger and getting into all of the trouble he was getting into it was still hard to know what was precipitated by bullheadedness and what was precipitated by mental health issues. In those days, I was very open because I was looking for services for him. I'd tried so many with so little success that I would have tried almost anything...and did! When he was out of school we basically let him "live life." If he blew it, he paid the consequences. We made no excuses and only offered information if we were asked directly, which was rare. I think we gave Rob a good base but it was learning everything the hard way and maturity that have helped him, too. Compared to easy child/PP families, we have a very superficial relationship for the most part. But it works for us and little by little we are making progress. You have an added dimension that we didn't and that is your grandson. As you know, his safety and well being have to come first now. I think I would base all of my decisions from this point on how will it affect him...not how will it affect your daughter. She is old enough to fend for herself, even if it is difficult. Poor little guy is at the mercy of everyone else at this point. Hugs, Suz [/QUOTE]
