    My Own Adult Daughter has lied and stole from me

    I feel your pain. Our 32 year old daughter has had 4 children, isn’t raising any of them - meth and abusive boyfriends take priority. We are raising 2 grandsons. She fraudulently claimed them as dependents on her income tax, so when I went to file electronically my return was rejected because...

    Thank God for you and your son stepping up to make a difference in those kids’ lives!

    Amy and COVID

    This COVID disaster is dysfunctional, and it starts at the top. Pretending a pandemic doesn’t exist isn’t a good strategy for dealing with it.

    Carol Burnett seeking guardianship of grandson

    I definitely get it. Have a six year old with guardianship and a 13 month old who tested positive for meth at birth so we’re foster parents. Both from daughter, 30 years old.

    Gave daughter 2 weeks to move out

    As a former difficult child myself, I made the choice to “walk the straight and narrow path.” If our kids don’t make that choice for themselves, there’s not a damn thing we can do to help them.

    Corona virus ~ so as not to hijack 200meters thread

    Haven’t posted in a while but still following. We’re raising 2 grandkids now - 10 month old gs who tested positive for meth at birth and it came down to us or foster care. And 6 year old gs. Anyhow, I’m pretty sure we’ve all had it (Covid-19) already. No way to know for sure since when we were...

    Hostage in my own home

    Maybe you could get an Order of Protection (Restraining Order) - then they’d have to move out immediately. At our County Courthouse in California there is a self-help office where they help you fill the forms and file them.

    Hostage in my own home

    The eviction process does take time. You being a realtor should help. You must know some real estate attorneys in your area. Get one of them to help you out. Or sell and move. Do whatever you have to do to get out of the situation you are in. You are being abused and taken advantage of. Nobody...

    I am new here with 37 yr old at home- and hope I can find and give help.

    37 years old with an in-demand job skill (nursing) is too old to be living off you and stealing your pain medication. You obviously know the situation needs to change, since you're posting about it on here. You matter, your relationships matter, your environment matters. His suicide threats...

    One last post and I will leave you alone ;)

    Sorry about your situation. It sounds almost like she has some form of paranoid schizophrenia with the conspiracy theories and being so laser focused on them. It's really unfortunate that it's impacting you and your grandson - and potentially other children. Realistically though there's not...

    Hello

    Sorry you’re going through all this, especially at Passover. Your son is still young, hopefully he’ll learn a lesson from this and turn things around.

    This has been gnawing at me...

    I would treat him like a rattlesnake and keep my distance. He’s obviously trying to involve you in some kind of scam with the cash transfer app. He’s accusing your husband of assault and domestic violence ( both potentially serious felonies). Probably so he can play the victim and take the...

    Update on my daughter, too

    What ksm and Applecori said. If she’s violent or steals, call the police. It will establish a paper trail if you try to get guardianship of your grandson. Also, start documenting in a spiral notebook what is going on, if she is neglectful or abusive toward your grandson. If she does get money or...

    Hi I am new

    You can also set a boundary on these phone calls. Tell him he can call once a day, once a week, or whatever works for you. If he calls more than that, don’t answer. Part of reclaiming our lives is realizing we matter, our needs matter, our space matters, our emotional state matters - we don’t...

    1 more day...

    If he voluntarily wants to move out, let him. Otherwise you might have to go through the hassle of evicting him. After a few months, he’ll be begging to move back in. Think long and hard if you want to do that. After he sees what the real world is like, living with (off) you will seem very...

    Honeymoon Crisis Rescue

    Honeymoon Crisis Rescue - Rinse Repeat is daughter’s pattern we’ve been stuck in for the past 10 years. We’re now supposed to kick in to rescue mode. Boyfriend is abusive (shocker!). This is the seventh or eight one. My ride on the crazy train is officially OVER. Wife rode to the rescue...

    Giant step backwards

    After couple of weeks of daughter coming and going, it was obvious it wasn’t working and was negatively affecting grandson, so wife agreed she had to go. My bottom line is that I can’t prevent wife from enabling her, but I’m not going to enable the enabling, if that makes sense. Daughter has...

    Giant step backwards

    Daughter is still here off and on. She spends 3-4 nights over at boyfriend’s. The one she supposedly had to get away from so we let her back in here. It is insane. Wife and I are not on the same page (really not even speaking the same language) at this point. Of course this is negatively...
