[QUOTE="Albatross, post: 645128, member: 17720"] HAHAHA! Glad I wasn't driving when I read this one. I hear you, Cedar. Oh, do I ever have those moments myself, when I have been zoomed and I finally realize it. It is how I felt when I put the pieces together and it finally hit me, that my son had used being kicked out of my house to help pay for a trip to the west coast. And I don't even particularly LIKE the person who gave him the help! OK, I kinda hate her. See your nice ladies comment above. Plus, even nice ladies shouldn't reward my son's bad behavior. Anyway...where was I? I can't imagine how much more intense your anger is with grandchildren involved, grandchildren who are even more vulnerable than you are to your daughter's shaping things. It is so good that you can know they are in good hands, that their father is rock solid and does what it takes, that he and your daughter have talked it out. But still... I think the greatest blessing I get from this place is seeing that *THOSE* moms, the ones I figure I don't fit in with because of the way my child turned out, are right here, probably better than the moms I THOUGHT had it all together. And when I look at the moms (and dads) here with admiration, it makes me think that maybe I am not quite the fool/fraud I thought I was. You and the other moms around here pull me up in my own eyes, just by your fine example. I'm so grateful for that. [/QUOTE]
