I just read your post on the UNCENSORED group. I'm sorry no one replied to it. I can tell you're in a lot of pain and just wanted to let you know I"m on here alot if you want to chat.
My daughter is only 10 so I can't relate to your daughter's drug addiction or her problems parenting your grandson. But I am a good listener and I can share my experience, strength, and hope with you. I've had 3 husbands with substance abuse issues, so maybe I can be of some help in that respect.
It is too bad that your husband is not being supportive of you at this difficult time in your lives. It is so much easier to get through life's challenges when you have your spouse in your corner. However, you can and will make it through this. I suppose the worst that will happen is that your grandson's father will get custody and your daughter will have to get off the couch and move out. Where she goes would be her responsibility. I was homeless once, and I learned a lot about life and about taking care of my problems and about making better decisions because of it. There is only so much you can and should do for someone who is an adult but refuses to take responsibility for their own life. I don't mean to sound like a hard liner, but I'm just saying that this is the worst that would happen.
It is a very painful time for you. This is a good place you've found. There are a lot of caring people on Daily Strength. I've been on it for over a year now, and I've made some great friends. I recommend journaling. You can choose to let everyone see it, or just friends, or you can keep it private so that only you can read it. Journaling is a good way to work through your emotions and negative feelings. It is a way to vent without hurting the people who are hurting you. I hope you give it a try.
Let me know if you need anything. Julia

Close Bipolar Disorder
Right now I am falling apart at the seams. My daughter is a meth addict, who may or may not be clean right now. We sent her to rehab a few months ago and she seemed to be good for a while but she had one of her temper tantrums a couple of days ago and became violent. She has a son that is almost 2 and we have had to threaten to fight to give custody to the father. My heart breaks when I think of it. My husband is also in crisis. I need someone to talk with.
