[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 658331, member: 17542"] Hi so tired and I am so sorry about your daughter and your grandchildren. I know that Must hurt you badly. But let's break it down. What can you do, really? Let her live with you? What would that do? She continues and then not only do you have yourself to take care of but you have a grandchild and a very dysfunctional adult. Do you really think that would work longer than a day or two? The second alternative is to try to get your grandchild. Are to ready to do this? Another alternative is to help him get away from her and with a family who wants a small child. I know none of these are good solutions. What are you worth? You did your job as a parent. What now is your job? I know all of these are personal questions and personal decisions and I am not really asking you to answer them. But please...think of yourself. It is perfectly okay to decide what you can and can't do. It is okay to put yourself first. It is not selfish. I believe we, as women in our culture today, are way over-conditioned to putting everyone in the world before ourselves. As the oldest child of four I certainly was. I always put myself last. I have had to learn how to value myself in these later years. These issues are very hard. Please know we are with you here and we care. [/QUOTE]
