[QUOTE="Shelley, post: 720708, member: 22328"] Unfortunately, and I say unfortunately with emphasis when kids are in the mix, you are placing a safety net allowing their behavior to continue because of your concern for those kids. Find an al anon group quickly. I can't tell you what I would do, I would be inclined to take in my grandkids myself. It is the most difficult situation, and you are going to need plenty of support to know what to do. I have given extra support to my own daughter and at times I get angry because I see issues with their parents being so self absorbed. All I can do is love my grandkids as a grandmother not a mother, I am learning to establish boundaries as to how much I babysit, not to feel guilty if I am too tired or busy, I am afterall much older than my daughter.
