[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 674276, member: 19522"] Hi, AWS, I am very sorry for your hurting mom heart, it is so tough. When our adult d c's act like our homes are rest stops, this is not fair. I feel for your mom in this, to be taken advantage of by her grandaughter. It is rather scary too, because of the folks she hangs out with. I am sad for you AWS, it is really hard when our kids go south and get mixed up with the wrong crowd. Drugs change everything. She is still in there, underneath it all. Just not right now. I am sorry. This is really scary AWS. You have described some very risky behavior regarding your daughter and her cohorts. You must be afraid for her and your own safety. We have hopes and dreams for our d c's. When things go wrong, it is very hard on us. You have done your parenting. Your daughter is young, but an adult in the laws eyes. We would like our d c's to make better choices, but it really is up to them. There is not much you can do, it is up to your daughter. This is screaming in my head right now, so I will write it. This is just me....if I knew my daughter was running around with dealers with guns I would make a call- in our State we have an anonymous crime hotline. Even if it meant my girl going to jail, I would rather that than something worse. I would say the biggest business that is yours, is that she is living with your mom, and this sounds dangerous to me. I am sorry AWS, but this is the truth. If your girl insists on this lifestyle, it is unfair of her to subject her family to it. There is an excellent article on loving detachment that A Dad mentioned. I read it a lot. If our d c's are bent on continuing this kind of lifestyle, it is best to take a step back. Most here will tell you, that our d c's do not grow under our watchcare. They need to find their own way. It is true what A Dad said about conversation with d c's. They do not need lectures, they know what is up. I have learned to keep calls short. "I love you, I want the best for you." I also pray a lot. This helps me. I am sorry for all of your troubles AWS. This is a hard journey for us. Keep on posting, it helps. You are not alone. (((Hugs))) leafy [/QUOTE]
