[QUOTE="Gone, post: 640342"] Thank you Kathy , it is good for me to be armed with the facts Then I have to work on my own emotional stuff around my difficult child's problems especially as it is tied in with the safety of my GS and working with social services It is difficult to know what to do sometimes but all I can do is be honest and presice with my concerns - I cannot pretend they have gone away when they haven't , cannot pretend things are fine when they are NOT as yet and cannot pretent mine and my difficult child's relationship is fine when it isn't and there is some real friction going on at present which is actually difficult for both of us as it is very real but until we are truly on the same page and my difficult child is more open and honest about things there is going to be a rift it seems , she blames me for everything , she feels I side with the social workers which I DO for my GS's protection and so I am the enemy right now even though I am doing it for her own benefit and the benefit of the whole family the most important person being little 7 year old child , the most innocent victim in this and it is my duty to keep him safe if my difficult child can't ''see'' the harm she is doing as she feels her lifestyle is harmless as it ''helps her'' to be around others and not at home but I am hoping when she finally gets the real help she needs she will settle down and be at home again in a stable place like she used to be [/QUOTE]
