[QUOTE="Weary Mother, post: 706830, member: 20487"] Find a healthy boundary with your daughter and grand-daughter if they should call and ask for help. Plan now for what you feel comfortable doing for them or not doing for them. Keep posting and keep us updated. ironbutterfly, this quote is what I struggle with. I feel ambivalent about what I am comfortable with doing. As in a prior reply to Somewhere, I have compassion, but am now angry and don't know how to keep living with the drama. But your statement of planning for what I feel comfortable doing is exactly what I have been pondering. On one had I feel cold and uncaring not trying to do something but on the other hand (the angry hand), I know over the years I have done and done and done and so far it has not altered much. I am so grateful for your post and look forward to hearing from all of you since this has now escalated due to the baby now. Also, my daughter has announced before this baby news came out that she wanted to come for a "visit" in Feb. but no info has been forthcoming on when and how, and now I am about to tell her that it is not a good time for her to visit.
