[QUOTE="End of our rope, post: 622050, member: 17544"] But for the gkids this would have been done long ago. They are truly sweet souls who are all but oblivious to the drama. Our grandson who is 11 is starting to see this and the more he is aware the more the cloak of innocence falls away and he see his mother for who she is. She has no gratitude for rescuing her from eviction. She has no gratitude for providing for her and her children. She has no gratitude for the chance to finish school and secure a future for her and her kids. She violated the conditions her Aunt placed for paying for her school by her deception and thievery and now her hope for a degree in nursing is all but gone. She has no guilt. She is more upset that she was caught than at doing these things. Who is crazier? The crazy person or the sane person trying to argue with a crazy person. Logic and rational thought are no longer in play and we can no longer look for solutions that rely on her rationalizing her decisions. What's next? I have no idea but we have to start by finding a way to get her in the care of a qualified psychiatrist who can treat her behavior issues. Otherwise we have no recourse but to kick her out the door. Our sanity and health is at risk. We have resolved ourselves that we will have to raise our gkids in some way or another. I believe we can do that but not if every day is full of turmoil. We have started the ball rolling on getting her on SSI disability but that can take 2 years. As I don't believe she can continue to provide for her family on her own as her irrational behavior will keep her from holding a permanent job. We would appreciate any helpful tips on this. Thanks for all of the support trust me we need it. [/QUOTE]
