[QUOTE="elizabrary, post: 478021, member: 11235"] I know how hard this is as my daughter has a 2-year-old who I love with all my heart. I absolutely limit what I do for them. I had to kick my daughter out of the house knowing she was taking the baby with her. It's heartwrenching. I buy things for the baby and take her for overnights a couple of times a month, but I have had to make up my mind that KK is Kat's daughter and therefore Kat is responsible for providing for her. Does she do a good job of it? No, and when I thought the situation was out of control I have called CPS three times. But it has never been bad enough for them to remove KK, so there it is. This is her daughter and her responsibility. I have been scared to death that she will have another baby as well, but so far that has not happened- thank the lord. And I have talked to her about birth control, but she blows me off, so I have no idea if she's on it or not. I can't control that, I can only control what I do. And I do what I can for the baby, but not at the risk of my own mental and financial health. I know how difficult this is and wish I had great advice, but in these situations we do the best we can at any given moment. Hang in there and I'm sending positive thoughts your way. [/QUOTE]
