[QUOTE="jbrain, post: 229560, member: 3450"] Hi MB, so sorry to hear this news but am hoping it turns out better than you think it will. I do understand, my difficult child and the boyfriend are living off welfare in the state of Washington. They seem to feel no qualms about accepting financial help--if it was helping them to "get on their feet" it would be one thing but I don't think that is what they are doing (although difficult child is working). My difficult child does seem to finally have something to live for though--she really seems to love her baby and feels she has a purpose now. I hope that will happen for your difficult child. I also did not really have any "grandmotherly" feelings for this baby til he was born. I do love him now. I am very glad though that I am on the opposite side of the country from them. I can't possibly jump in and help and I don't have to watch the day-to-day goings on. People are always asking me when I am going to go visit--well, I don't know, I may never go. Right now it is okay to just receive pictures and talk on the phone. I am not going to be raising this child, he is difficult child's responsibility. So, many hugs going out to you, I am sorry this is how 2009 is starting out for you. Take care, Jane [/QUOTE]
