[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 70549, member: 1514"] I think we are becoming stronger and stronger in dealing with Cory. I may be completely wrong and we may backslide from time to time...which I am pretty sure is natural but I think we have set forth some very clear goals and expectations from here on out. He will never live in our house again. He cant. He has broken our trust again and again. To say he isnt happy about this fact is an understatement but oh well. Tough cookies. I will do some limited help as far as providing rides to appts to therapy and help getting work and looking for places to live. I wont be his slave. He may visit his daughter at our house on the weekends but he cannot sleep here at night. When dark falls he must leave. If we are not home, he cannot be here. He cannot take her anywhere without us. He doesnt like this part. Oh well. Now I realize he could fight me on the part about his child but I dont think he really wants to go down that road. It would be a very bad decision on his part. I would hate to have to have his visitation removed from him. Legally it could get very sticky if he wants to put up too much of a fuss. But dont mess with the wellbeing of my grandchild...I will bite. He wants to find a small trailer close to where he is going to be working, which is a place that employs guys right out of jail. Then he can walk to work. He doesnt mind walking at all. He has to make some significant changes in his life before I have much more to do with him. My house is basically in lockdown. I have bought a safe. All my medications are in there...and my cellphones will go in there when not in use. And its big enough for my purse. Sigh. [/QUOTE]
