[QUOTE="Too Tired, post: 416718, member: 11530"] I finally got a little sleep last night. I'm reading your replies, and I can't believe this is real - I finally found a community that cares and understands. You are my angels. Thank you. To answer a few of your questions: difficult child has been through a lot. I am technically her step-mother, I married the family 5 yrs ago. Her birth mother is an alcoholic, and I don't know what else (maybe bi-polar?), but she's absolutely crazy. She has psychotic episodes, see's people & things that aren's there. BM also had an eating disorder and drank as a teenager. So I know that difficult child is biologically "tuned" for her behavior. difficult child has been perscribed anti-depressants. But she took them to school and sold them so she could get money to buy marijuana. I was so angry with her at the time, that I didn't bother getting more for her. I'm now second guessing that decision. I think we will start again, and this time I'll lock them up with everything else and watch her take them as prescribed. For the last 5 yrs we have had full custody. But because the kids were older, we allowed them to decide when and if they wanted to see her. They both love her, as they should, but she continues to hurt them. She'll get drunk and start texting (she's a very mean drunk), or calling the house every 20 seconds until we turn off all the phones and computers. It's easy to turn off the phones, not so easy to watch it hurt these kids. Who knows what they saw and went through before I knew them. That said, I love this family fiercely. I made a commitment to them, and I'm in it for the long haul. We have a strong family unit. husband and I are a good team. Today is a new day. Hopefully it will be the day that we can get her into detox. Wish me luck and send a prayer. I'll update tonight. Again - from the bottom of my heart - THANK YOU! [/QUOTE]
