[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 659325, member: 1550"] Well, your daughter would have to lose custody first, something that most likely won't happen. She isn't abusing him. Her crummy lifestyle is not enough for her to lose her child. Right now you have no grounds for getting custody. The bar is high for a biological parent to get her rights removed from her child. I'm sorry you are dealing with this. Sometimes our realities differ even though we lived the same experiences. You can't change what your daughter thinks. Perhaps the best thing for you is to go into intensive therapy and try to figure it out and also figure out how to cope and what to do. It seems hard and lonely doing it alone. I know I never could have dealt with my kids, when they were at their worst, all by myself. It is courageous to reach out for help and to let others in. A therapist is one example. Al-Anon or Narc-Anon is another. I did both for Princess. When YOU are the one suffering, YOU are the one who needs the help and it is also a good example for your daughter, whether she chooses to copy it or not, to show that there is nothing wrong by going for psychiatric help. Wishing things were different won't help you, your grandson, or anybody. You will only get sick and your own life will slip away from you. Don't let your own life be determined by your daughter's. Hugs and take care of yourself. [/QUOTE]
