[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 718476, member: 1550"] I like susies advice. A lot. All of it. I have grandchildren and I lnow CPS has a high bar before they step in, but they may not tolerate a child living shelter to shelter. If you are worried about this child, and healthy enough to do so, I would offer my home to the child only. Your daughter is not providing her with stability. Are drugs involved? Refusing to work, using drugs, etc. is neglect/abuse. CPS may actually give her options to help her situation. I doubt you would even legally be allowed to bring two more people into a one bedroom apartment. Let Daughter stand alone. You are already in financial peril trying to save her and your sacrifices did not help her. Money is never a good answer,especially with drugs involved if they are. Our difficult adult children do not undetstand that a hand up until they get it together means they work hard to get out of the hole. They think it means lifetime support and often means we are putting up with abuse, stealing, etc. You already said chaos would happen if she moved in. You know her best. She wont change for no reason. She wants you to feel so guilty that you will do anything for her. But if she is able bodied, she can work. Why doesnt she? No is a complete sentence. Take care of yourself. Stop thinking you can fix your daughter. You tried. Its her turn to fix herself. Get into therapy. A third, uninvolved person is very helpful. Much more so than self righteous family and "friends." Good luck! [/QUOTE]
