[QUOTE="Marcie Mac, post: 223950, member: 47"] Suz has excellent advice. My eldest hasen't been diagnosis'd with anything cept depression, but am sure she suffers from a lot more than that. If she gets in a snit, the baby card is pulled out. It doesn't matter if the snit is with me, or one of the three dads of her kids, or her brothers, she starts the "you will never ever see (insert name of child or all three) again. We all, me especially, have gotten tired of her antics. Her brothers want no contact with her whatsoever after what she pulled on them-and they were always her biggest supporters when she had to remove herself from a messy situation with drug addicted boyfriend. I have been humilitated one too many times and give her no chance whatsoever to ever do it again. I no longer do the Rodney King speech,the one that goes "Can't we all just get along" cause its just not possible. I keep in touch every two weeks or so just to see how the gkids are doing. Its a very superficial conversation - no chats about anything personal - If I didn't call, I would never hear from her, and she only lives a few miles from me. I have been called twice as an emergency babysitter, and I go cause I enjoy spending time with the grands for a few hours and seeing them, even though SO and her brothers see that as me enabling her. But its not about her, its about me and spending time with my gkids. Its hard to put a much loved child at arms distance,but it does get easier as time goes by. There is no chance "the you will never see" card is pulled on me as there are no disagreements. Marcie [/QUOTE]
