Thank you for your stories. At this point I don’t want to stop helping. She’d be on the streets with my two granddaughters. In Colorado! She now is saying she’s going to do online teaching. Maybe, maybe not! We’ll see. Keeping a job is difficult. Right now she works at Walmart and likes it. So...

You said something that struck me and I’ve heard this before from a counselor. Sometimes we do things for us. That’s why I do it. And for her, so she can survive.

Waiting, your husband reminds me of mine. I help my daughter financially. I wish I didn’t have to but I do. She works but doesn’t make enough to take care of herself and my two granddaughters. I don’t tell my husband. He is her step-father. I have some money off my own so that’s how I justify...

She will be seeing the doctor again this week so there may be some more answers

Thank you for your thoughts. I also realize my granddaughters could grow up fine taking what they have learned and using it in a positive way. I doubt she would consider adoption. I wondered about childcare assistance. There’sa lot of help out there so maybe that will be available. I’m trying...

I’m 76. I’ve been dealing with her bad decisions for years. She has told the man who impregnated her but she says she doesn’t want to do anything to harm his marriage. I’m sure I’ll be helping her financially. I don’t know how she could possibly survive with the cost of childcare etc. I would...

I’m back with another chapter to this story. It never seems to end. My daughter will be 50 on Monday and she is pregnant. There’s like a1% chance of getting pregnant at 50 and she’s in that 1 %. Needless to say I’m shocked. The father is a married man in town. My daughter is s single mom. I’m...

I have a son who lives with my husband and I. He was a drug user for several years and bottomed out and ended up in jail for a month. He is doing good. Of drugs and attended a community college studying American Sign Language. My husband is a good guy. He’s been through the mill with my two...

Good morning and thank you. My story is a little different but not much. My daughter has food stamps. She, I think, wants better for herself and granddaughters, but can’t keep a job. The only one she seems to do ok with is house cleaning. Working for anyone else, forget it. Something happens...

We’re ok financially but we live very frugally. My husband doesn’t know about money I’ve been sending her. We’re a second marriage.

He’s done his own therapy since he didn’t have insurance.

I sat down yesterday and added up how much money I’ve sent since August of 2019. The total blew my mind. That was through venmo. Before that I’d go to Walmart. That is after years of sending money through Walmart. And two cars and God knows what else. It’s been 12 years of this. It was a rude...

Your responses have meant so much to me. I’ve gone back and read them again. I never thought our relationship would come to this, but the signs were there all along. I just choose to ignore them and take the little tidbits of love that I got mostly in response to giving money. That’s enough! I’m...

After a few friendly exchanges by texting, I sent a picture of a travel trailer we have and told my daughter she was welcome to stay here until she can get on her feet and find housing. She asked me if we could bring it to Tulsa Oklahoma f or her and my granddaughters to live in until she finds...

I heard from my daughter today. Like nothing happened. She didn’t ask for anything. Thinking she wants to move. Had reconnected with a college boyfriend. Having trouble with my 12 year old granddaughter. I remained friendly, listened, and that was about it it was good to hear from her but I...

This thread was good for me to read. My daughter is not speaking to me because I didn’t agree to the financial assistance she wanted. She’s almost 50 years old and it’s been a long journey. I’m ready to enjoy my life without the stress and drama. I did send her a text one day that said thinking...

He does his own physical therapy. He had no insurance. Sept.1 he will have Medicare since he’s on disability

That’s ok He still uses marijuana supposedly for a pain killer after his car accident. Thankfully he’s off the hard drugs.

Oh my New Leaf! That’s almost too much for one mother to bear. I cannot imagine. You are brave and strong. You did what had to be done. God help New Leaf and her daughter and granddaughter and entire family.

Thank you!
