[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 698885, member: 13542"] Done Dad, I'm sorry for your struggles, I know first hand how it goes since I raised my granddaughter too. It's a tough call, but the kids are innocent.........I know how you feel. I know your attorney said to wait for guardianship so that your grandson can stabilize, however, it is a process and it takes time to get guardianship. I did it too. Your daughter will be served papers as will anyone else involved with the child's welfare, so be aware that timing is crucial, you'll want to move ahead when you think your daughter and her ex will not fight the guardianship. The courts always make every attempt at keeping the children with their bio-parents, so there is usually mediation of some kind as well. You may want to look up guardianship on your local State government sites, here in California, I got a lot of info off of that site before I began, so I knew what I was up against. To all of you raising kids at our age, I know how challenging it is, I do. I was 58 when my granddaughter came to live with me, and now 9 years later, she is 20 years old, healthy, happy and doing very well. I made it. Sigh. It was not easy, but like you all, I knew I could not let her suffer under the circumstances her mother and father created. Bless all of us for doing what we have to do....... [/QUOTE]
