[QUOTE="DDD, post: 460592, member: 35"] I wish I had "an answer" for you. This is a very complicated situation and when I was in my mid thirties I had a similar situation with a very undesirable friend who attached to my daughter (now identified in my posts as GFGmom). I used all my energy and influence to keep that girl away from my daughter. I failed. One day at work I got a phone call from the police department and my difficult child and that girl were arrested. Turns out the girl told my daughter that boy X had invited them to his house after school. He was not there so the girl opened the door and in they went. With no knowledge on my daughter's part "while they waited for boy X to come home" the other girl stole something. Yep, the police filed a report that included my daughter although they told me and my FBI brother in law that charges would not be filed against my daughter. Sigh! Coincidentally my new husband asked me to relocate with him so he could open his own business. Truthfully I only agreed to leave my hometown because I feared the influence of that girl. Sounds weird but it is true. The situation is very similar to what your Mom is facing. I truly believe that you and your husband would greatly suffer if you took on the burden of your neice. on the other hand, I do not see a way that your Mom can alter the course she is on no matter how hard she tries. Some combinations are lethal and a "bad" friend can chart the course of another's life. I'm keeping your family in my thoughts and hoping something miraculous happens. Usually I try to be upbeat on the Board but the combination of the family history and the evil friend leaves me with no positive suggestions. DDD [/QUOTE]
