[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 755857, member: 18958"] I'm walking down memory lane some more. Only 14 years ago I was living in a big city without a car because I anticipated leaving the country (again.) I walked uphill a mile and brought groceries back with the grocery cart (which I returned on the next trip.) It was fun! I went at night (it was a peaceful neighborhood right by the Pacific Ocean.) Doing that was the best part of my day. I still miss it. Of course none of this relates to daughter in law. But it's fun to share the story. You are doing absolutely the right thing. Every choice she is making is poor and puts her kids at risk. 7 moves by 10 years old, and changing schools each time? We moved 3 times before my son was 10, to establish my profession. I regret that. What she needs to do is to deal with her situation, and to begin to consider her children if she can. She is a woman with nobody and nothing. She exposes her children to a bad man. She is entitled and dependent. There are resources in an advanced society such as Canada to help disabled mothers keep their children and their families intact. There is support. You can't do it single-handedly, nor should you. It's not good for you, or for her. She needs to turn to the resources that will help her. She has that opportunity. Let's see what she does. There is no reason for her to lose her children. If she does, there is an element of choice involved. I feel very bad for the kids. [/QUOTE]
