[QUOTE="Bean, post: 326440, member: 8620"] My daughter, or difficult child is living with her grandparents. This is after a long history of disrupt and disrespect in our home (with 4 younger sibs to witness). She was in jail, 4mo tx, and was with parents. Took her five weeks to screw up enough to be put in jail until her 18th birthday so she could be put in an adult 1/2way house for another 4mos. We could not let our daughter come back to live with us, as we have other children and our own mental health to look out for. My parents took her in. My parents are enablers. Always have been, still are. Lovely nice people, but enablers who like to head-bury. At any rate, it has been frustrating. Not only am I still mourning and frustrated over my daughter, but I feel like I've lost my mother as well. I can no longer call her to discuss my daughter's issues, because my parents are the ones supervising her and allowing her to run all over them (they paid her fare to take a weekend long vacation recently, only to have to drive 3 hours to go pick her up because she spent the return fare!!?). Anyway, I'm so happy to have found this site, so I'm babbling in relief. :) Anyone else have their difficult child live with their parents, and experienced the stress it puts on a relationship? Any tips or thoughts? I'm having a hard time. [/QUOTE]
