[QUOTE="HMBgal, post: 705371, member: 13260"] No idea. I know some self-care is in order. I'm working full-time as a special educator and having a hard year. My daughter has stopped parenting her children, so they are living with us. I'm thinking al-anon for sure, reading "Co-Dependant No More" but it's exhausting raising two grandchildren, one with significant emotional impairments and challenges, school stuff for him, and trying to give them some kind of a decent childhood. I'm tired, my husband is 10 years older and he's the main guy for school drop off and pick ups, etc. He fields the phone calls from the school and has to take care of grandson when he's suspended, etc. So yeah, I've got to figure out how to get over the resentment building in me at my daughter, who needs help with her demons, too. My husband won't even really speak to her at this point, nor she to him. He is out of patience and I'm stuck in the middle. I need to find some joy. [/QUOTE]
