[QUOTE="CrazyinVA, post: 490600, member: 1157"] If it weren't just me, taking the kids in without her might be an option I'd consider. But I raised two difficult children all by myself already. There's no way I can take care of a 18 month old and a 4-1/2 year old all by myself, let alone raise them for any length of time, at my age. Heck I can barely deal with keeping them for a weekend by myself, I am lousy at it. I'm burned out when it comes to kids, period, and I've sacrificed enough in my life. The mere thought of taking them in .. talk about a PTSD reaction. I can't go through all that again. I've gone over it and over it in therapy. It's not their fault, and they're innocent victims and my heart breaks for them, but, I can't change the course that's been set for them. That's up to Youngest. I just need to make a plan, and boundaries I can live with. [/QUOTE]
