[QUOTE="DoneDad, post: 746986, member: 17244"] After couple of weeks of daughter coming and going, it was obvious it wasn’t working and was negatively affecting grandson, so wife agreed she had to go. My bottom line is that I can’t prevent wife from enabling her, but I’m not going to enable the enabling, if that makes sense. Daughter has been gone almost a week now and it’s less tense in the house, grandson is back to his routines, and it’s just a lot better. I know there will be challenges ahead as she shows more and then gives birth, but I’m cautiously optimistic we won’t get sucked in to trying to rescue her again (so she can go out and do the exact same thing again). Adoption isn’t an option this time because baby daddy doesn’t want to do it. My take is that it’s her mess, she’s going to have to deal with it the best she can. At 28 years old, having had 2 other kids that she’s not raising, it’s time for her to wake up and take responsibility for her actions. [/QUOTE]
