[QUOTE="tishthedish, post: 658575, member: 17103"] This has a familiar ring to it, because I've been in similar straits. I have a 4 year old special needs grandson and two very immature parents. I've been on this board a while, about 18 months and you have gotten great advice. Please read my post "It just got worse, way worse" and "I got laundry for my birthday". Any that refer to difficult child 2 are going to be pertinent to what you're going through. I am so sorry. It's a heartwrenching situation and you're in the midst of it. Stay strong and keep your boundaries about your house....please. If social services gets involved, you'll be the first person they call. When I spoke to them they asked about my husband and I and other family members. You will have input if it comes to that. We chose to take our grandson a it was short-termed. DCFS still isn't done with my son and that was a year ago. He had court as late as today. The baby mama had DCFS on her tail so hard that she signed all rights away to my son. Sometimes you have to give the system time to work. If I would have forced it we would have been estranged and it would have been bad. Stay strong about your boundaries. Call DCFS anonymously if you feel the need. Don't give your name. They'll tell you they won't tell and it will help them but you can't know what kind of case worker you'll get. I learned the hard way. Al-Anon has changed my life. I had never even considered it until someone suggested it here. I staggered into a meeting one afternoon looking like hell warmed over. I cried through the entire meeting. It was the kindest thing I have ever done for myself and it still feels good. Hang in there. Hugs and prayers coming your way. [/QUOTE]
