[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 731410, member: 1550"] She is already 35 and not independent and is not taking good care of her children. You can't live forever. You should not have to leave the home for her. Or give her your car. Perhaps if she is using government services they will offer her more professional help and monitor the grandchildren. They need stability. She is unable or unwilling to give them that and it wouldn't surprise me if they ended up in foster care. The father is a loser and she is a drug addict, sadly. I feel badly for you. I am around your age and know that I am no longer in the right frame of mind to take on one grandchild let alone four and an adult child who acts like she is still a teen. I just want peace and stability now and that is what you probably want and need too. You can retire from being a mommy with no guilt...you were one far longer than most. Daughter needs to step up now. Grandparents have no legal rights, so you can not control how she cares for the grands either. If she has nowhere to bring more kids maybe she will stop having them. I think you are doing the only thing you can. Nothing good was happening for her in your home under your care, and you should never ever leave your house again. And don't give her your car! If she drives impaired in your car, are you responsible? Please....it's time to take care of YOU. YOU matter. Love and light! [/QUOTE]
