Those with a long memory might remember my situation. for those who are new, here's a brief summary: My difficult child is 23. She was diagnosis'd with BiPolar disorder in November of 2011. She has refused medication and thinks - like many with this disorder, that she is fine (everyone else is mad). She gave birth to beautiful twin girls in January of 2014. She has not contact with the bio father (to whom she was engaged within a week of meeting him. She moved out within weeks of discovering she was pregnant).
She lived with me from the time she left the guy until two months after the girls' birth. She said I was "mean" (lol) and moved in with her dad, AKA Mr. Ostrich.
She moved out of Mr' O's home three weeks ago. He has finally seen the light and no longer (at least for now) has his head buried in the sand. Apparently he, too, was "mean" for calling her on her behavior.
She moved in with a guy she barely knows. He actually seems like a nice guy - but that's irrelevant. The next one could be Ted Bundy.
she refuses to work and, in fact, pretended to go to work at her former place of employment (Target) for weeks before Mr. O busted her. We have no idea where she was going when claiming to go to work.
She is out of money (we will not give her money for anything. She gets formula from WIC and - I guess - the new guy gives buys diapers. Mr. O ( or the reformed Mr. O) did buy diapers until he found out she was pretending to go to work.
We have found out (it's a long story as to how, and I don't have the strength to explain) that she is now on websites such as "sugardaddies.com", "established men.com" and - repulsively - "what's your price.com" ...sites that are nothing short of prostitution.
We are stunned. And sick. I did call CPS when she was meeting guys online (and taking the girls with ehr to meet them!). At that time, they said what she was doing was poor judgement, but not illegal. These sites are - technically - legal.
I'm not really seeking advice right now. Just support. I know I will need advice as time goes on,bu right now my head is spinning.
These girls are the most precious little things you can imagine. I am attached - forever. God help all of us.
