[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 732341, member: 18516"] WOW, you sure do have a full plate! I'm so sorry for all your daughter has put you through. I hope she realizes how lucky she is that you are taking care of her children. Detaching is the only way you will be able to move on. It doesn't mean you stop loving her. Accepting that you have no power or control over how she chooses to live her life is sad, but also very freeing and a healthy thing for you to do. One of the hardest things I ever did was accept the fact that my son could die from his life style choices and that I may never even know. Accepting it freed me. I no longer worried and wondered all the time where he was, what was he doing, was he eating, where was he sleeping, etc......... I understand you don't have legal custody of your grands but you may want to at least get a power of attorney in case they need medical care. Sending you warm hugs and good thoughts [/QUOTE]
