[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 763870, member: 4152"] Totally agree that you were wise to cut off the money train. This is important. And it certainly doesn’t sound like she should live with you. Certainly sounds like much entitlement and reality is not at play. Very sad that she is expecting again. A blessing you are willing to take care of your grandchild. Agree with the others about strict boundaries. And possibly giving her a bit of guidance re child support. I know it may sound VERY strange, even funny…but you might consider for the future paying her to take birth control. It sounds “far out” but she has demonstrated many issues with self control. You won’t be giving her money for “things” and this does blur the line a bit…but the consequences of not using birth control are just too steep for ALL . It’s the one exception you might consider. With the exceptions needed due to circumstances like your grandchild…I would disengage as much as possible. Consider checking out various “Anonymous” meetings for possible support like Families Anonymous. Or private counseling even for the short term. This struggle you’ve reported is extremely hard.
