[QUOTE="End of our rope, post: 622054, member: 17544"] We have consulted an attorney and in our state she would have to be incarcerated or deemed unfit in order for us to have some form of custody. We are behind the father as he would have first rights. That would actually be OK if there was any hope he would be reliable enough to raise them on a full time basis. Many have asked are drugs part of the picture? Yes I think in some way they are. I think they are limited to prescription pain pills at this time but her irrational behavior may betray something else. I am a child of the 60's and 70's and she doesn't show what I saw experiencing the drug culture of the times. She has had bad health her whole life but that doesn't excuse her behavior. My wife struggles with her own depression and all the time she has spent battling back her own demons is in jeopardy as the stress of this is quickly overcoming both of us. We are fighting so many battles on so many fronts I just don't know if we can stomach all of this. Understand that I really feel the support of others from this board who have clearly experienced similar situations as ours but as I type this we are alone in our misery. Even our own pastoral team at our church has thrown us to "Family Counselors" who have never given us any help. We keep looking for some type of parental support in our are but have found none. Now that my parents are gone who we shared this all with we are alone in this and we are really feeling it. Thanks again for taking the time to reach out. [/QUOTE]
