[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 425395, member: 84"] I think in the end, you have to do simply what you can live with given the situation. I believe you said before that kat has allowed the baby to stay with you? Is there chance she would let the baby stay while she gets her act together? This not only removes the baby from any potential dangers.....such as living on the street or with total strangers, it also removes her from the drama of the situation. Kat will still have to face the consequences of decisions she's made for the most part, yet baby will not have to suffer those consequences with her. It there is a possibility that kat would let just the baby stay with you again.......I'd opt for that way first. Then you're not forced to deal with kat's manipulation and drama 24/7. But if the bottom line is that the possibility of your grandbaby either being on the street or miserable is going to drive you nuts......and she won't let just the baby stay? Then you will have to do what will let you live with yourself in the end. It's best when that happens to try to keep as realistic and pessimistic view of the situation as possible. Helps you stand firm with rules and you get less surprises that way. Innocents, such as grandkids, really complicate the situation with difficult children. (((hugs))) And saying a prayer for grandbaby. [/QUOTE]
