[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 742443, member: 1550"] Sonetimes....not always.... The drugs come AFTER the mean behavior. What I mean by that is some people are born without much empathy. See my post on Watercooler about the brains of those with antisocial personality disorder... It explains the physiology of those without empathy. They actually lack certain brain function. They can use drugs but whether they do or dont they dont have a clue how people feel and they dont care. This, if your daughter fits in here, is not your fault. "Punishing" grandparents from seeing their grands that they were once very close to is a special sort of evil, yet it happens more than you know. Put "Estranged Stories" into your search engine and read the grandparent site. You wont feel alone. Not all these adult kids who did this use drugs. But they all use the grands as part of their estrangement. It is epademic. I peeked there for many reasons....my FOO estranged me on and off. And one child I adopted at six did not bond and estranged us fifteen years ago. But thankfully the estrangement was before grandkids and I can say with honesty I am over it. I can barely picture him anymore. Time takes care of almost all. Or it gets better with time. You do not have to provide for a mean or drug addicted or both adult child forever. Its not what is normally done. If she is angry, too bad. I am sorry about your sweet grand but perhaps daughter will screw up again and you can get custody. Wishing you strength and the ability to move on and remember the Serenity Prayer. God grant me the Serenity to accept the things I can not change, The Courage to change the things I can, And the Wisdom to know the difference. [/QUOTE]
