[QUOTE="helpme, post: 359117, member: 8202"] Man, oh man, I can tell watching this one is just brutal. 30 with a 44 year old almost seems unrealistic to begin with. And then he still sounds like a mess and his momma probably too! I think you need to hold confident in your ideology that she just has to try. You have to remember that you did teach her to try, and that boy oh boy, if even a small piece of her and her kids lives changed, she'd be on the road to a way better life (probably getting away from that hubby would be my guess). Just curious though, what do you do about the grand kids though. I wonder what the paternal gma would do if they all ended up in a shelter. I think that if she let them go, then she knows her son is never going to step up and be supportive to your d, your grand kids, or to himself. Now remember, I am no where near this stage, but I wonder, do people take in just their child and grand kids, and leave the spouse OUT? How much of an impact would that make on her? Would it be enough time to get her thinking clearly, or not? Would it give you, if you needed it, time to check on the grand kids, or do you think that is a good idea? Sounds like something should break her poor image of herself in not being able to accomplish anything. Would taking the grand kids or not allowing hubby a place to live make her come back to realization? Is she that desperate yet? [/QUOTE]
