[QUOTE="DDD, post: 109288, member: 35"] I know I have been venting about GFGmom for years and years but I really don't see how I can completely detach from the PITA since difficult child lives with us and spends weekends with her. I have kept my distance from her very very hyper daughter and only see her for very short visits. I don't even have them for dinner. I smile, wave, hug and send her back to GFGmom after a few minutes because I can NOT raise her third child. BUT GFGmom still gets into situations where I end up enabling her in order to protect her kid or kids. Wednesday she calls and tells me that her electricity has been cut off. She "forgot" her bill was due. She called her biodad and he said "so sad". So it is 6 PM, the temp is going down (Florida style, lol) and she and the five year old have no one else to help. She really has no one to help her because she has no friends. She begs and swears she will pay me back on Friday. I give her the money and repeat that I MUST have it back Friday. OK? OK! [img]:nonono:[/img] She tracks me down at work right before 7 and hands me 1/2 the money and waves two Rx bags in front of me as she says "I'm sorry Mom, but your granddaughter needed medicine and it was too close to time for an insurance refill so I had to pay FULL price........TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS!!!! so she will have medicine. [img]:hammer:[/img] I am so angry because I have detached from her all I can but the poor children honestly do come last in her head and I just can't help trying to keep them safe. It's like she uses them as tools so she can blow her money on stupid stuff without any accountability. For a 45 year old difficult child with NO addictions to keep messing up over and over again is just mind boggling. I don't know if I am more angry at her or at me. DDD [/QUOTE]
