[QUOTE="lovemysons, post: 764670, member: 3305"] This is what I first wrote to mom when I asked her on the phone if the kids could come live with us and go to school up here… J is unhappy being homeschooled. She gets depressed and has headaches. J is not in school at all and doesn't know how how to do much to prepare him for 18 years old. He is also very depressed and wants counseling. I have the time to enroll them in regular school and get them involved in extra curricular activities too like tennis and karate. They are not thriving at your house. They are not prepared to succeed in life as adults. You can keep your tax right offs and social security on them. We just want them to have opportunities to succeed in life unless you plan on them living with you and your mom the rest of their lives. Right now they are not ready for their futures. Please give them a chance to succeed. They don't have much time left. This was her response. Y'all already had a chance to f*** up your own kids and you did a damn good job at it! Why would I give you a stab at ruining mine?? Our son the passed away is the only one who was seriously troubled and an addict. She immediately attacked me. I guess it’s because she felt attacked. I hope she will do what’s best for the kids now but I doubt it because she’s already lost custody in the past for drug use. And her mom had custody. I hate to say this because I know it sounds terrible but dear husband and I are not ready or able to raise our youngest granddaughter who is 11. She is a force to be reckoned with! We cannot relive the kind of years we had with our 2 sons when they were teenagers. And I emotionally I shouldn’t deal with that kind of rebellion anymore. I do have bipolar disorder and take lots of medication but I don’t know what it would take to cause my mind to break again like it did in 2007 when I had to be hospitalized. I can’t go through that again. I was mostly in bed for 5 years afterwards while my mind healed. So we are willing to help our 2 oldest grandchildren and maybe her mom can take care of the 3 youngest. I just don’t know. Thank you all for your prayers. [/QUOTE]
