[QUOTE="Triedntrue, post: 731929, member: 21499"] I am sorry for your troubles. Many of the people here have been in very similar places including myself. My son is 36 bipolar and uses drugs. Until last oct when i had him 302ed i was paying rent buying food helping with his business on and on. Then found out he was using cocaine among other things. He has 2 children both with their respective mothers. I will not allow him at my home. He is currently in jail. There is an article here on detaching and also a book called codependent no more by Melody Beattie both are good resources. There is also a post about 7 ways you know you are being manipulated. All that aside your daughter needs to take care of her own life. You have the right to a peaceful home and so does your grandson. You need to understand that you are enabling her by continuing to give her money and other things she is most likely using it for drugs. She needs to hit bottom before she realizes that she needs to change. One story that helped me was about the butterfly. There are other stories with the same theme i will see if i can find it for you. Also it might help to get yourself counceling not for her but support for you. I am sure others will follow. [/QUOTE]
