[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 389363, member: 1514"] Lisa, I am so frustrated for you. I know how much the grandkids mean to you. I get it on such a guttural level. I know you would take Aubry in a nanosecond just like I would Keyana. I would be more hesitant with Hailie and Mikey for many of the same reasons you are with Katie and M. Not that Jamie doesnt work or support the family but I just know that unless both parents were completely out of the picture, I would have no peace at all. Even then, I fear that damage is already done to at least one of those kids. I dont know that I am up to raising another difficult child. Normal kids are hard enough! I am not real sure I could raise a female Cory with a mean streak! I keep saying that I hope K and M come to their senses but I really have little hope because of their ages. Especially M. By now they really are grown up and pretty much as set in their ways as they can get. It will take almost an act of congress to get much to change. Most people do the major changing in their 20's and grow out of the stupid junk and become more responsible. That really worries me. Even if they were fairly adept criminals it would be something ya know? But they arent even good at using the system to keep a roof and food. I have known tons of people who lived in public housing with the man on the side, not reported, got welfare and food stamps and managed...even working under the table to make extra cash. Its what ya gotta do these days sometimes. You cant just live in shelters that kick you out with kids and then go live in boxes. That isnt a plan! [/QUOTE]
