[QUOTE="skittles, post: 579325, member: 2484"] I havent posted here in years, but recently have felt the need to reach out for support again. My difficult child is now 26 years old in prison for armed robbery and is father to three kids. I have inherited resposibility for his kids and girlfreind. His girlfriend is another difficult child, she keeps getting pregnant on purpose, has no car, minimal parenting skills and is very difficult to deal with. My grandkids are 4, 3 and 1. None of them are toilet trained, teeth are not brushed and theres never a fresh fruit or vegetable in the house. Childrens aid society has been involved but recently closed the protection order and she is now without thier supervision and her family refuse to help.. So I am her only support. I am constantly oncall for everything. Every time she runs out of something, needs to see the doctor, go shopping etc. Meanwhile I have a full time job and my own family also. I could deal with this if I thought it was temporary, that it would improve as they got older, however, I know she fully intends on getting pregnant again as soon as my son gets out on parole. As i cant see any end in site to this i am at the point that I feel I have to tell both of them that if she gets pregnant again I will call childrens aid and tell them I am withdrawing my support. I feel horrible as that is abandoning my innocent grandchildren but I know their parents will never stop having kids as long as I am helping them and my life will never be my own. [/QUOTE]
