[QUOTE="stressedmama, post: 639759, member: 18412"] Even tho we told our difficult child she was not welcome home, she truly did not believe we would actually go through with it. My husband called the detox facility, the temp rehab she was in, her, everyone he could possible talk to to let them know she had no safe place to go. It took a lot of drilling and a lot of calls on our part to finally get someone to realize she really didn't have anywhere to go and someone needed to help her find a long term facility for her to go to. What a relief it was to get the call from her that she got into the half-way house. We really thought she was going to show up at our doorstep when the rehab released her. The key was to let as many people know as possible she could not come home and that if someone would finally step up, there was a decent person under all the addiction crap that could be saved. I know you are exhausted, stressed and afraid of the many unknowns with your daughter, and your grandson. Have faith that as he gets a little older, the separation anxiety will diminish. I am the main caregiver of our GS as well but now that he's a little older, my husband takes him on "adventures" that only boys are allowed to go on (cute!). It's just a car ride to the store or something, but it's a chance for me to have a little breather. Maybe your husband could try something like that - even if it's just a car ride and the baby sleeps the whole time! Hugs! [/QUOTE]
