[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 622038, member: 13542"] Oh my. I completely understand how you're feeling and how you can age 10 years in a matter of months too. I am so sorry for all of those losses you've sustained, that is an enormous amount of grief to have to deal with on top of the antics of your daughter. My heart goes out to you 'End of our rope' and to your wife. I'm wondering the same thing about pressing charges against her for the credit card theft. If she already has a record, that would be taken seriously. She has now successfully burned all of her bridges. You are certainly in the middle of a drama and being held hostage once again by your daughter's choices and behavior. I hope the father can step up to the plate and help with the children. Please keep us posted about what he is willing to do. I can't imagine how much this is hurting you and your wife, it is beyond comprehension..........and hanging in the balance are the two kids...........that's what makes the entire thing so horrible, those kids. I understand so much of your agony because I have faced some of that myself and the choices we're forced into making are so out of the realm of 'normal' that it is impossible to even explain it. I don't have any real options for you I'm sorry to say, other then pressing charges. However, I can empathize with you having been in similar shoes............and I have so much compassion for this tragedy in your lives, just when you are at an age when in another reality, you would be retiring and enjoying your freedom...........you're facing devastating choices about what to do about your grandchildren. I am so, so sorry. Please keep posting. It helps to know there are others out there who understand. I hope you and your wife are in some kind of a supportive environment, both of you need support for all of this, for the grief, the anger, the resentments, the fear, just the horror of all of it. I so wish you can find some peace and solace somewhere in the middle of this journey............. [/QUOTE]
