[QUOTE="scent of cedar, post: 605065, member: 1721"] Good for you for contacting legal authorities. It is good to have information. If you need to act, you will be prepared. There was a time when husband and I considered calling Child Protective Services. We decided to trust that daughter would do the right thing by the kids. She did not, and the kids suffered. The situation may be about to repeat itself. This time, we have contacted Social Services, already. Knowing who to call and what will likely happen if we do that has helped us stay balanced. Information counters the fear, confusion, and anger we feel when we know we need to protect the kids, but we don't know how to do that. You are doing the right thing. Half the battle is understanding that the situation really is as bad for the kids as we suspect it is. It feels wrong to step in. difficult child moms tend to minimize the wrongness of what they are exposing their children to. They like to rail about their rights to parent their own children. It is so hard to know what to do. Cedar [/QUOTE]
