[QUOTE="Elsi, post: 741966, member: 23349"] Oh Jenna I am so sorry for the pain she has put you through. That is horrific. It sounds like her problems go far beyond the drugs. She sounds like she could well be a psychopath. Anyone who could hurt their mother like that, even for drugs, has serious psychological problems. In all likelihood there is nothing you could have done differently. Go easier on her, go harder on her, people here have tried it all. If she is a psychopath or has a personality disorder of some kind it most likely would have made little difference. It is NOT always the parent’s fault when these things happen! She had some tough knocks, for sure - I lost my dad at around the same age, and it’s hard - but that does not excuse her horrific behavior. It’s perfectly sane to not want to be around toxic people who hurt us. Even if they are our children. It sounds like your relationship with your daughter is not salvageable. I would just worry about your granddaughter, who still has a chance. I would not hesitate to call CPS in the future if you think it is warranted. Right now there is no relationship with your daughter to save. I’ll never totally give up on hope that my wayward ones will change. Perhaps you won’t either. But as long as she is behaving this way, using and abusing you, you do not have to put yourself in a position to keep taking it. Protect your self, protect your property, protect your financial assets and future security. Hugs to you. [/QUOTE]
