I agree on the PTSD...I feel triggered often. Little things in the surface, but it is like a flare up of emotions, when things come up out of my control. Like when my great grandsons mom will say she will be back in an hour, then it's a day or two. Or I try to call and her phone is not on...or...

Your grandchild will be used as a pawn to hurt you for the rest of your lives. Either intentionally or unintentionally. Let's hope the system works and if she's not capable professionals will step in. I'm living this hell right now... our great grandson will be 4 this weekend. He's been...

It's time to live your life, and let others live theirs... Being in jail may be the one thing that changes your son's future, or maybe he will continue to make the same decisions that will send him back to jail. He still can't use words that shows he took responsibility for his decisions...

Beautiful!

Heart breaking.... i have no words. Ksm

I will be praying for your grands, too. I wish we had some legal custody.. This could all change. The parents don't even have a custody order...so we are stuck in the middle because either parent could take him and keep him from us. Or each other. His dad does not have a good track record...

LMS, this really hit home with me. But the last couple of years I have been able to focus on our Great Grandson, because he lives with us. His mom might stop in a couple times a week. But shes not parenting... she did come home about 11pm last night. We don't allow her to have a key anymore...

Any updates? Ksm

I'm so sorry. I know you, like most of us, have lowered our expectations. But it still hurts our soul. Ksm

I'm so sorry for your grands...your granddaughter seems like a smart young lady. At 14 people should listen to her! DcF needs to talk to the older kids separately, privately... The system is broken. Breaks my heart.

Copa and New Leaf are a real blessing to so many of us here! And so many others, too. The site is not as busy, but this page seems like a group of old friends. Ksm

Heart breaking. But he is old enough to reach out for help...and he knows you will be there for him. I hope he can get enrolled in s hood and have teachers he can trust to get help. Our grandson is 3 and I am scared for him to live full time with either parent. So we keep doing what we...

Have you contacted the DCF office that helped make this transition? Do they have any jurisdiction? How far of a drive is it to take him home? I think I would still, especially when she said she was going to pick him up for a doctor's appointment. Keep us updated. Prayers for you guys. Ksm

Maybe with cps involved, the mom will have to do better... I hope the transition goes smoothly and he can thrive in a new environment. Ksm

I'm praying for you right now. Please update us when you can. Ksm

I feel your pain. I wonder if she is getting your son's SS benefits for all the kids and that is why she wants to keep them? I worry about living long enough to see my great grandchild reach adulthood...he has been with us for over 2 years. His mom "lives here" but is rarely here, and if she...

Will be 24 in March... She first tried meth when she was 15. She said she wanted to why her mom chose meth over her kids... Her son is now the age she was when they went in to foster care...

Granddaughter hasn't been home since Saturday. She said she took a home covid test and it was positive. She sounded very sick., bit never called her doctor or sought treatment. Now she says she's at the end of it and wants to come home soon. My hubby and I are up to date on our covid vaccines...

I'm so sorry you are going thru this, but it's good that you and your hubby are seeing a professional. We may not have advice or answers, but we know what you are going through. Hugs. Ksm

I'm so sorry that things are so difficult right now. I don't have a clue what you should do, but I understand this can not keep going on. Hopefully, maybe both of you can come up with a solution. Ksm
