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...

daughter 28 pregnant again (third time, 3 different losers). She’s 3-4 months pregnant, staying with us again. Wife is locked in to this pattern as much as daughter is. I don’t want to even think it, but I’m starting to think the only way off the roller coaster might be on my own.

Hi, been awhile. I do read but haven’t updated. Anyhow, daughter (28) was pregnant again, we told her we weren’t raising another child for her, so she did the adoption. That was in March. She’s back to partying, apparently has a new Mr. Wrong, hasn’t even visited her son,4, who we are permanent...

Daughter, 27, now due in about a month. Because of good advice on this thread https://conductdisorders.com/community/threads/pregnant-again.64118/ And ongoing therapy we emphasized to her that we were not going to support or raise any more of her children. She wouldn’t be living here. We won’t...

Backstory - difficult daughter, 27, been using drugs and having a succession of loser boyfriends since she was 18. We have guardianship of her 3 year old son, but it is a physical, emotional, and financial struggle. We have guardianship because baby daddy was in jail at the time and she had a...

We had the hearing for the permanent guardianship for our 3 yo GS today. We got it!

Seems like so many of the difficult children that bring us here are doing the same things, saying the same things. Do you think it's possible they have a forum too, where they share their best practices in manipulating parents to do what they want? :sleep: :laugh:

We had a temporary guardianship hearing for our grandson last week. Basically it wasn't granted because the judge didn't feel it was an emergency situation. We have a permanent guardianship hearing in June. Now I'm worried that the judge is going to say, "well, everything seems to be going OK...

I post occasionally. Daughter was doing pretty well, living at home with 2 year old son, working - not without problems, but making improvements. Then new boyfriend enters picture - she's gone for days at a time, constant lying. The heartbreaker - little guy crying saying "mommy gone." Drugs...

Difficult Daughter is 25, living at home with 1 1/2 yr old son, doing pretty well, working 20-25 hrs/wk at a grocery store, takes care of her son, no drugs or alcohol that we know about (her job drug tests so we're pretty sure about that). Her son's "father" is out of the picture. He has a...

To all the fantastic Moms on here. Seems like a lot of the active posters are Moms, but I bet there are a lot of us Dads reading along. Do something nice for yourself tomorrow.

I'm reading Boundaries by Cloud and Townsend (which is a great book) and one part is so relevant to what happens when we set boundaries with our Difficult Child's that I thought I would share it here. This is a quote from p. 247 - 248 of the book in a section discussing outside resistance we get when...

Difficult Child daughter living in our house with 11 month old son Z she had with one of the long string of losers she's hooked up with over the last 6 years (she's 24).
