Sandra writes: My daughter is 40 years old and has been separated for from her husband for 2 years. I understand the tough love for her as an addict but she has two children. A daughter almost 15 and a son 8. I do what I can to take care of them and not anger my daughter. They just lost their home and have moved in with me. My daughter annoys the heck out of me and I am often upset and afraid for the children. How do I handle this, my daughter denies being on anything. Their father is no better he is an alcoholic and pot smoker. How can I protect these kids. Help
Jessica writes:Im a new grandma of a 1 mth old beautiful grandson. My daughter got back with the meth addicted father right after his birth. Thank God they live with me and I can keep an eye on him but she barely even holds him. The only thing that matters is the father, not the baby. I have him 20 hours a day including nights and I have an appt with an attorney Monday. I'm terrified even though my daughter is drinking and dabbling with meth again that I will lose and she will be so angry that she will take my grandson away. Last night I found her passed out in the car and the night before she texted me saying she was sorry she can't go on like this and tell her son she loves him, so I call police to look for her and they did NOTHING because she didn't specifically say she was going to hurt herself! To many times the system falls these kids and I don't know what to do. Keep mouth shut so I can keep him in my life or take a chance of trying to get temporary custody and losing? Then I lose everything. Please help.
