[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 153760, member: 3626"] I'm sorry you didn't get your grandson but I do think you made the right decision. It is hard enough to take care of one damaged child but two is even more so, especially if your emotionally invested in one child but not the other. I don't know if it was the right decision by the judge, however. I understand trying to keep siblings together but that's not always possible. My daughter had 3 half-brothers. Two of the boys were given to the bio-grandmother. The eldest has severe Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE) and is in permanent state care -- mainly group homes. It was actually determined that my daughter could not be placed with the boys -- it was too volatile of a situation for everyone. Don't be surprised if sometime in the future CPS calls you and asks you to take your grandson. Of course, by then, he will probably have abused his little sister both physically and sexually. Too much of his history and behavior sounds so much like what went on with my daughter and her brothers. Such a sad state of affairs. You may actually want to let CPS know that if they determine the kids need to be separated you would still want your grandson provided that neither your daughter nor the boy's father is allowed contact. As to the scene with your daughter, I would have been surprised had it gone any other way. You said what you had to say. There was no way she was going to be able to accept it. I'm sorry she managed to get you engaged. Our kids so dang good at that! Many hugs. Just remember that you did the best thing for all concerned. [/QUOTE]
