[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 677422, member: 19522"] This sounds all too familiar. We stayed in the "game" with Tornado, because of the grands. They were babies, too. Someone called CPS (wasn't us, that time) and reported Tornado for smoking pot while nursing her young son. I was shocked. She gave birth naturally, so drugs would not affect her unborn child, why would she poison her breast milk? I didn't believe it, then they tested her.....Well, it was true. We ended up taking in all three. That is another story....... Point is, and I know I am preaching to the choir....but this may help your wife think more about it, these d cs have got to learn to take care of their children. We will not be around forever to pick up the pieces. There is counseling and parenting classes. From what you wrote of your daughter, she is dropping the ball here. Since your wife's health is at stake, it raises a flag for some sort of intervention. Our State works with Catholic Charities for family counseling services. This may be something you might want to check into, to get your daughter help to understand her responsibility. I know, this is one more thing on your plate, but geez, if you folks just keep going status quo, one day the [I]bottom will drop out[/I]. I hope your State agencies will have some answers. It doesn't hurt to make a few phone calls, to see what your options are. You are not alone. I remember those days, when my grands were just babies, what a nightmare..... God Bless you both, for taking care of the little guy. (((HUGS))) leafy [/QUOTE]
