[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 178754, member: 805"] Welcome Marylynne! We do have some other grandparents here raising their difficult child's kids or seeking help for them. I must ask you first if they live with you? It kinda sounds like they do from all you have said. If they do live with you, you will have to resolve to living with drama. But it also gives you the ability to step in should your grandchildren need you. If they don't live with you, it would be easier to deal with your daughter because you wouldn't have to! You could call and talk to the grandchildren, you could go and pick them up once or twice a week and bring them to your house for lunch or dinner or just to spend time with them. You don't to have a lot of conflict with daughter, who just adds to your health issues and anxiety, to maintain a relationship with your grandchildren. Now, if you honestly, in your heart of hearts, feel those children are being abused in any way, you need to call the authorities again and again until something is done. If it is "just" a case of her being a bad mom, you have the opportunity to step in and offer the children some love and stability. Listen, I'm glad you are here. I hope you will find that we are all dealing with the side effects of our difficult children! You are not alone in your struggles. Sharon [/QUOTE]
