[QUOTE="klmno, post: 279307, member: 3699"] I haven't been in those shoes, but I have always been a single parent and have asked myself a few times if I would opt to raise difficult child myself if I'd known what I know now. I think I would let her know that there have been a lot of unexpected hardships and strains and so forth. It might be preeferable to have this conversation on the phone instead of via email. I don't know if I'd go so far as saying "I wouldn't do it". That is for them to decide and they might disregard all your advice if you go that far. But, telling her about some of the problems that can surface is certainly reasonable. [/QUOTE]
