[QUOTE="ksm, post: 763193, member: 12511"] She is a social worker? Is she working as a social worker now? It worries me that she has a history of drinking...as early pregnancy ID'S the worst time to be drinking, I am sure she knows all this and how to get help. It may be her "helping personality" that got her in to this field of work and maybe what keeps her tied to this boyfriend. It is so hard to deal with an adult child who will be having your grandchild. It's heartbreaking. I had to set up a new account on this forum and I have not retyped my signature. We adopted our grands, and now they are 22 and 24. The youngest and her 2 yo son is now living with us and also had the boyfriend from hell. I wish I had answers. The things that have helped me has been AlAnon...the principal teachings work for alcohol , drugs, mental illness, etc. I can't control it, I didn't cause it and I can't cure it. It's important that you and your husband be on the same page so that she can't manipulate one of you over the other. Private counseling for the two of you might be helpful. I'd say at this point to try to be supportive and encouraging and "play nice" with her boyfriend so she doesn't use anything to keep you from a relationship with your future grandchild. I'm still struggling, because now my granddaughter and great grandson has lived with us "while she gets on her feet" which does not seem to be anytime soon. But at least we know GGS is safe and taken care of. Newksm [/QUOTE]
