[QUOTE="DoneDad, post: 650121, member: 17244"] Thanks for this. When Difficult Child called to tell us about this (she lives with us but wasn't home), I could see wife was going in to panic/rescue mode. I kept watching my show (The Chew), so she started to get upset with me. She asked, "Don't you even care?" I told her, "What am I supposed to do about it?" She can drive herself crazy if she wants, but I'm done doing that. The rest of the day I wore my new "Not my circus, Not my monkeys" t-shirt, just in case anybody thought I was planning on getting involved in this latest round of nonsense. We did get Difficult Child to write notarized letter saying that if she can't care for Z for any reason that we are the designated guardians. Really my only concern in this is keeping Z safe and secure. We told Difficult Child sperm donor was no good from the start. She ignored us. We told her not to have unprotected sex with him. She ignored us (he didn't like using condoms). We helped her get a restraining order and only supervised visitation of Z. She ignored it. We told her not to go over to his house. She ignored us. We asked her to get child support from him (he does get some kind of government money). Nope - he wouldn't like that. Apparently, our role is to pay for everything and fix all her problems for her so she can go out and make new messes for us to clean up. I'm done doing that. Unfortunately wife isn't there yet, which is taking a toll on her physically and psychologically. [/QUOTE]
