[QUOTE="dashcat, post: 598060, member: 9175"] Sad, You do not have to raise your grandchild. You can, and should, set limits on how much help you will offer and what you will expect her to handle on her own. But you don't have to decide that right now. For now, just try getting through each day -one day at a time - and be sure that you are taking steps to keep yourself well. Go to counseling, join a 12 step group (FA has worked very well for me), eat well, and work on loving detachment from your daughter's choices. You cannot do anything about her choices. In the end, you must do what you feel is right for yourself and for your grandchild. Now, two more tiny bits of advice: Go to the settings tab at the top of the page, then click on "edit profile". Add your profile information (see others for what that means). This helps us to remember your situation when you post in the future. Also, when you post, try and break it up into paragraphs. ALL of us here have posted (and many - myself included - still do!) post long, detailed stories and rants when we need to. If they are broken up into paragraphs, they're easier to read (and you'll probably get more readers and responses). Take care, Dash [/QUOTE]
