[QUOTE="DoneDad, post: 711451, member: 17244"] Who has the kids on weekends? The dad? Is he paying child support? It sounds like she's dug herself into a pretty deep hole. Maybe look into women's shelters as apple PRI said, give her the information, and let her know she can go or not, but she won't be living with you anymore. Are you able and willing to care for the two kids? Is your husband on board? Be honest with yourself. Two kids is a lot of work and expense to take on. Maybe the dad will have to step up. You say these are your issues, but really they're her issues. You don't smoke meth. You didn't drive with a suspended license. You didn't ruin her credit. Your issues are you have a meth user living in your house and your husband is threatening to leave. These are issues you can resolve. You can't make her stop smoking meth, get a job, or anything else (except move out). At 23 with 2 kids, your daughter is an adult. As much as you might want to, you can't fix all her problems for her. Only she can do that. [/QUOTE]
