[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 369290, member: 3419"] Hi Weary, you've gotten some great answers here. Definitely, with-your dad's issues, having him and your mom watch difficult child again is out of the picture. I agree--find a sitter who can occasionally stay overnight. You can do a web search for care in your area. Save up some $ and it will defintely be worth it. I can see that your mom has been living in denial for so long, that she has no intention of getting your dad into therapy and on medications. What a shame. He must be miserable. My parents weren't that abusive, but still, with-my mom's drinking and my dad's lack of skill/interest in little kids, I never let the kids spend the night at their house. It was pretty much a non-issue, since we had moved out of state and had no real reason to leave them alone at my parents' anyway. Once I left my easy child with-my parents when I attended a biz mtng, and they were so stressed out I never had them do it again. (They didn't know that you could insert a round easy child of plastic inside a baby bottle inside the nipple, to keep it from leaking, and were supposed to take out the plastic to feed the baby. She screamed and screamed every time they tried to feed her. My dad finally took the bottle apart and figured it out. That was 19 yrs ago!) I have no idea how they managed to raise 5 kids of their own. Maybe that's why my mom drank ... :raspberry-tounge: [/QUOTE]
