[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 650776, member: 13542"] I am so happy for you loverwhelmed, so glad you have the baby. Sorry, I thought you had a grandson (oops). I know how you feel about your daughter, it is sad. I felt so bad for my daughter too, I empathized so much with what that would feel like, but in reality, I'm not sure my daughter really felt that way, in some ways, perhaps in her deepest heart, she knew her daughter was in good hands with me and she could let go. Substance abuse and/or mental illness have a hold of their brains in ways we can't understand. It's up to your daughter to handle her life, the baby is safe with your now. You did a really wonderful thing in taking your granddaughter. Take it from me, it isn't easy, but it is very satisfying to know you are offering that little tyke a safe and loving home. I applaud all your efforts. My granddaughter is in her first year of college now, getting herself ready for her Sophomore year with 8 other kids who've rented a house! She is blossoming and happy and healthy, which is why we make these kinds of choices. Many hugs to you loverwhelmed. Celebrate with that little munchkin today. [/QUOTE]
