Oh, ChickPea, I'm so sorry. I don't have grandchildren so I'm not in your position, but I imagine it must be incredibly hard.


I agree with Busy, we have no control over our adult kids. If I were you I would prioritise the baby over an adult child who continues to make poor decisions. It sounds to me like you are leaning heavily towards this.


Of course you don't want anything to happen to your daughter. My son has threatened suicide many times. I now see it as a form of manipulation on his part. Of course I can never be sure he's not serious, but I have learned not to panic every time this threat is made. I don't know your daughter and I have no idea whether she is serious or not, but it does seem to me that these difficult kids love to back us into a corner with these sorts of threats.


Sending you love and empathy.
