[QUOTE="ChickPea, post: 752944, member: 24089"] We have legal rights/guardianship and custody/control. I am SO thankful that we have that. Saving grace. We've met her at public places, but not for the reasons you stated. Very good point! Getting colder out, so it's a little harder, but I agree with this. Thank you for the suggestion. Sometimes in chaos your mind doesn't think of the duh-logical stuff. Jease this whole post. ❤️I read it to my husband, too. Over and over again I'm so thankful for all of you, for your stories and advice, and just being an outlet. Totally resonates. Yesterday we met with her, talked with her (it was like talking with a glazed-over teenaged version of herself), and had her over for an hour to visit the baby - all on our own terms. Visit went well-ish. Today she calls me wanting to come over (no), and then wanting us to make her a sandwich (she's STARVING), and then not even having the time to [I]get[/I] the sandwich because she's up to scheming something. I CAN NOT fix her. I can extend branches here and there, but I can't make the horse drink the water. I literally refuse and can not fathom the thought of running this same hamster wheel when this precious kid is six. I can't. Please. Lord give me strength and guidance! On top of it all, my husband's father was diagnosed with cancer. Blessing and a curse, but our focus needs to - and is - changing. [/QUOTE]
