[QUOTE="Tiredof33, post: 511429, member: 13558"] I totally agree that your deserve peace!!! One of my classmates, now 60, just told me that she is going to raise the grands ages 2 and 5, I just don't think I could do it. She has 3 male difficult children, all raised in a drug and alcohol free Christian home. They have spent so much money trying to turn the difficult children lives around and she told me no more, she us just going to focus on making a better life for the grands. One thing I have learned is how lucky I was that my difficult child stayed OUT of my house. Although much of that time was spent in jail and rehab I could go home to peace and quiet. A distant relative let a guy she was casual friends with move in to get back on his feet, after 2 years he is not showing any plans to move and she wants him out. He is college educated and sold things in a flea market on the weekends, now he is a cook at Shoneys. He is in his 50s and doesn't do drugs now but does blame his past drug use for lake of motivation to do anything. I think it's just an excuse to be lazy and he is definitely taking advantage of her. One time when my son was in rehab and they had a family day several of the older guys commented that their families don't come to visit them any more. I waited until I was alone with my son and I told him it is so stressful for the families to keep going through this and they just get tired of the drama, they want a life that doesn't revolve around going to visit someone every weekend at court ordered rehab. I will check the forum often during this week, so post away if it gets to be too much. Your granddaughter is so lucky to have you and I am sure she appreciates it. Prayers for us all.
