[QUOTE="ksm, post: 765810, member: 12511"] I'm so sorry, Midst...I have a similar issue with my daughter/granddaughter. (Long story...20 years ago our grands were in foster care for a year before we could get them placed with us. We adopted in 2005. They are now 24 and 26 and the youngest one has a little boy who is 4) Their parents had an addiction to meth. Now the youngest is a meth addict. We have taken care of great grandson for 2.5 years. I will be 69 soon and my husband is 80. Luckily we are healthy, but it is very hard caring for a 4 year old! And I do resent his mom! She started experimenting with meth at age 15. She got in trouble for being stopped with drugs in her car over a year ago. It could be a felony, but she was offered diversion last month. I don't know if she can follow the rules for 18 months and stay clean. If not, she will probably be sent to jail. She pops in and out of her son's life. I keep a diary of daily notes and she spent 3 nights in June here. So maybe her not being around is a blessing of sorts. Resentment is normal. I resent that meth is affecting another generation... That my Great grandson looks out his bedroom window every morning and says "mommy's car is not here". "where's mommy" and lately..."mommy died". This is a good place to come and vent...welcome to the club no one wanted to join. Ksm [/QUOTE]
