[QUOTE="AppleCori, post: 746886, member: 16024"] Hi and welcome, Lonleylady It sounds like you are at the end of your rope. I think the first thing you need to do is try and separate yourself from your adult, middle-aged daughter and her constant demands on your time, money, and emotions. Don’t answer her calls, at least for a couple of weeks. Then, put some boundaries in place. She can’t ask for money or complain to you about anything. If she does, politely hang up and don’t answer for a while.You don’t need more stuff on your plate. She is an adult and has been for a long time. If she is on SSI, she probably also gets (or is eligible for) Medicaid, housing, utility subsidies, food stamps, and many other things. Food banks can close the gap if she can’t make ends meet with what she gets for the government. I feel terrible for your youngest grandson. Reach out to Somewhereoutthere or another of our knowledgeable members for info about how/where you can go to get some more help in raising your grandson, and getting some plans in place for his future, which eventually will be necessary for him to live independently of you. I hope that you find some comfort here, and continue posting. It helps. Apple [/QUOTE]
