[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think disengaging makes good sense, OP. I've been there and all I can say is: YOU WILL NEVER GET BACK THIS TIME WITH YOUR KIDS. Choose your kids every time.

This! If you gave to make a choice. Invest in yours and your kids future and relationship for the future.

Your kids didn’t ask for this. And your mom likely didn’t either, but probably or didnt plan well enough and has more than one kid (if it helps you to rationalize it this way).

THIS. I learned the hard way and it really caused damage with one of my kids (who witnessed a lot of horrible behavior from grandma that I should have shut down sooner. We ended up paying the price in physical and mental health issues after witnessing a particularly bad episode). There is some quote that was posted here a while back about how it's more important to be a good parent than a good adult daughter. You try to make sure you parent gets good care, but you don't break your back and your family. The family you created comes first in priorities. You chose to have children. You didn't chose this situation.

Also, absolutely get her in the right residential situation.[/quote]
