[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 752255, member: 18958"] Poor you. You don't deserve this. You are responsible for this baby. Your daughter was out of control and indifferent to how she affects anybody, including him. You have to stay centered and reasonably functional to care for him. And for yourself. I have missed your updates. What happened with the attorney? Is there a possibility of legal guardianship? Your daughter is falling through the cracks. She is in no shape even to think about parenting a child. Should she push it, you would have to call Child Protective Services. The baby's (and your daughter's) best shot is that you would have legal guardianship. Whether or not she is mentally ill and/or an alcoholic or addict, she cannot rampage through your life at will. This is what she is doing. Who knows what is going on? It' s start that that she went to ER. This begins the figuring out just what part of this is substances, what may be mental illness, personality and/or immaturity. I would try to tighten the boundaries. You are caring for her child. She has no right to abuse you. That's what is happening. Guilt over not going to the ER? I'm sorry. No. Why? This is not like some virus overtook her. She is living in such a way that the natural consequence of things is instability and worse. Going to the ER with flowers and a card and sympathy and compassion is giving her a reward for very, very poor behavior, towards her family and her child which has been ongoing. Let's say she is mentally ill and self-medicating. There is still no room here for sympathy. What is called for is boundaries. Her behavior presents a danger to herself and to others. Why act like everything is normal when it is not? That is what I think. I am so very sorry this is happening. [/QUOTE]
