[QUOTE="AppleCori, post: 748150, member: 16024"] My step-brother and his wife are raising their two oldest grandkids right now (ages 9 & 11). They are around fifty years old, and it is almost too much for them (my brother is disabled). The younger one has some problems and I worry about the teen years coming up. The parents gave these two (of their five kids) to the grandparents “temporarily” but it seems more permanent every day, and they don’t want to go back. They said that they can’t take the younger three under any circumstances. The other (healthier) grandparents have had those kids on and off, but they are not in a position to keep them long-term. There is no way that the courts would take away custody from the parents when they haven’t ever been charged with anything or have never had the kids taken away from them by the state. They would probably view you unfavorably for even trying. Our difficult adult kids have a way of dominating our lives if we let them. I’m glad you see that and are taking steps to extricate yourselves. Apple [/QUOTE]
