[QUOTE="DoneDad, post: 713550, member: 17244"] I don't want to give a lot of details because it would be easy to figure out who we are, but let's just say recoverenabler's advice on an earlier thread of becoming very proactive was spot on and what sealed the deal. As well as the fact that the baby daddy made a total ass out of himself in court. We are very happy because it takes away a whole level of uncertainty and insecurity in GS's situation with us, and now we can do things like dentist and doctor and school things without having to get a letter from difficult daughter mom, who is now involved in a whole new round of dirtbag boyfriend (new one - really the same idiot over and over with different names) drama and couldn't care less about her son. We are getting therapy and it's helping a lot with detachment from daughter's situation. I know raising GS while she parties is in a way enabling her, but we're not doing it for her, we're doing it for GS. We've discussed that if she gets pregnant again we can not raise another child. I know that will be a tough one if it happens, but it's a boundary I'm pretty intent on holding to. Anyhow, I feel like a weight has been lifted off of me with this permanent guardianship. We don't have to constantly be waiting for the other shoe to drop, for one or both of them to show up drunk and demand to take GS, or whatever. [/QUOTE]
