[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 575797, member: 15801"] PG, I agree with all that Nancy said, especially about what your difficult child should do. Unfortunately as we all know you have absolutely no control over the decisions she makes and what she does. There is nothing you can do that can make her do the right things. I do think however it is time for you and your husband to sit down and really talk about your feelings about all this and what you are willing and can do if certain things come to pass. I totally understand about not wanting to raise another child as I feel exactly the same way.... and I also understand the turmoil it would be to see a grandchild taken by CPS and given to foster care. I think that is a potential possibility in this case unless your difficult child gets her act together. So ultimately you and husband need to figure out and make sure you are on the same page if this comes to pass. Are you willing to take this grandchild in and raise him or her if your difficult child cannot do it? I think it is important for you and husband to get on the same page on this issue.... as whatever happens you dont want this to become between the two of you. I am not sure what I would do either if I was in that situation... and I am not sure where my husband would stand either. I do know we would need to really think about this and it would help if we thought about it before hand.... and hopefully it will be a moot point because your difficult child gets it together.
