I am sorry for your troubles. There is an article on detachment here that might help you. I am not sure i understand the sisters, didn't they talk your mother into selling her house which made your daughter homeless? If so why can't they understand why your daughter can't come to your house for the same reason. If your daughter is an addict she is the only one who can decide to stop. You can only give her information like where shelters are where food banks are , possible rehabs. She can choose to take advantage of them or not. None of this is easy and many on this sight have been through this. They will reply later i am sure. It is good that her children are safe. Even if you left your husband that would not change the fact that your daughter is an addict nor will it change her behavior. Also since you have her daughter would the court allow you to have her in your home. You are a caring mother and love your daughter and your grandchildren but you can not fix this by destroying your own life. I hope you are able to find peace.
