[QUOTE="Smithmom, post: 743600, member: 23371"] The key to finding happiness in this situation in my opinion is in the AA prayer. You accept that you cannot change your daughter. Giving her money is usually trying to change it. Have you accepted it? Are you trying to change the situation with your grand? You're seemingly doing neither change nor acceptance. Is this true? If neither then you cannot find peace. Keeping your grand safe is certainly the right thing to do. But putting the responsibility on yourself to keep her from the wrong path isn't right. We cannot keep our childeen from themselves. The path she ultimately takes will not be because she was or wasn't with you. Worrying about whether she has a tv in her room, how much time she spends outside, etc is not helpful to anyone. Detachment is key here. When these thoughts come to you change the channel. [/QUOTE]
