[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 678015, member: 17542"] Done Dad, I am so sorry that you are living like you are. You truly are held hostage. There are no easy or clear answers here. I don't have grandchildren so I can only imagine the layers that adds to the whole situation. I am thankful that I could kick my son out the door when his behavior became intolerable. I reclaimed my peace and that was very good for me and for him. I would like to think I could make the phone call to CPS if need be, but I can only imagine how hard that would be to do as well. It sounds like you are getting good advice here about that. I would not let this make me lose my marriage if I could help it. You and your wife are more important---the most important, I believe. More than your daughter or the grandchild. You sound like you are at the end of your rope. Are you? If you are, I would suggest you start attending Al-Anon meetings. You can go and sit and listen and you don't have to say a word. There are many people in Al-Anon living in similar situations of complete craziness. Al-Anon helps them continue to live with it, and find peace. Again, I'm sorry. You are in a very hard situation. Warm hugs. [/QUOTE]
