[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 682318, member: 19522"] Ksm, you are a hero, please do not feel that you have failed, you have done and are doing the best you can under very difficult circumstances. My two had issues as teens, I attributed it to puberty and well, teen angst. There were good times peppered in between some hard. I think they both experimented with pot. Looking back, I wish I had done more, but retrospect is a product of learning as we go, when we know better, we do better. I think all teens have "attachment" issues, some more than others. It is a time of great change in their bodies, and they are trying to test their wings before they are ready to venture out into the world. You have been on a long hard road with both of these girls, and you have sacrificed so much for them. I do understand the grandparent/parent thing, as my grands were in and out of our home and our roles switched. You are a wonderful person in a challenging spot. My heart goes out to you and I pray for your peace of mind in knowing that you are doing a wonderful thing in providing, loving and caring for these girls. In their youth, they may not show appreciation, but hopefully one day they will look back and understand the blessings they have received growing up in your home. (((HUGS))) leafy [/QUOTE]
