[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 647748, member: 1550"] Oops. I read your post again and you said you wouldn't raise another kid. That's fine. I d on't blame you. I really wouldn't want to. This is my time to have a ball and relax too and I'm going to take it. Is your daughter using drugs? If so, it's even another reason to detach. You can not save the three year old. His future is the going to be the same as his older siblings and that is on your daughter's shoulders. You can't control her. Perhaps it is time to go very low contact with her so that you can heal and get your own life in order. You deserve a wonderful golden years. Sounds like you've done everything humanly possible for Daughter and it hasn't worked or helped the other grands (because SHE raised them in her dysfunctional way). There is nothing you can do now either so you may as well enjoy your life. Maybe you can even go on Match (wink, wink) :P Hey, at our age, when we are SUPPOSED to be free of our parental obligations it is ok to BE free of them. You do not have to "mother" your daughter anymore. She will need to do the hard work to put herself together. You an't do it for her. Here's hoping for a great tomorrow. Remember: "Tomorrow is the First Day of the Rest of Your Life." Make it a great one! [/QUOTE]
