[QUOTE="tracy551, post: 40968, member: 3565"] This is not the first time my mom and I have had it out re:difficult child. I've told her so many times in the past when he was home to stop going behind my back with the money and everything but she kept doing it. She knows he was doing drugs, she knows he wasn't going to school, she knows about the troulbe with the law, but still she thinks he's OK. I'll never understand. The whole time I thought I was doing the right thing trying to get him to see that this was not the way to live she would go and contradict everything I was trying to do. I don't think difficult child told her anything too different, she is just a sucker for her grandchildren. I've told her to stay out of it when I was trying to correct him (all 3 of them) but she always did stuff anyway. I truely don't think there is any way of getting thru to her. Even when difficult child was home she hardly came by, so now that he's away she is acting like she was always here when he was home. She thinks because he cries she has to get him home, well what about all the times when I cried when I didn't know where he was at 2 or 3 in the morning, what about all the calls from the school, the police, what about all the violence, the angry hurtful words, what about me and her other 2 grandsons????? Yes it kills me to be away from my child but what does a parent do when they can no longer help their child on their own?? We reach for help and that's what I did. [/QUOTE]
