What would a 30yr. old appreciate most living at home?

  • Posted on November 27, 2010 at 5:24 am

My 30yr.old daughter is moving back home with her 4yr. old son whilst she finishes nursing college (about 18 months). Her husband is an alcoholic but the separation is mutual. He’s been mentally abusive & not getting any better. He goes to AA but the ‘dryer’ he gets, he’s more argumentative & bossy. He blames everyone else for his problems. She just can’t take it anymore.
I want to create a safe, loving environment for my daughter & grandson without being overly protective. My grandson already stays 4 days a week with me & cries if he has to go home so this is already his safe place. I’m civil to my son-in-law but it’s hard. I don’t want to deal with him but if he shows up drunk to take my grandson for a visit I will call the police.
My daughter will have her own room & bathroom. Has anyone been in the same situation & have advise for us both?

My daughter started using codeine when our dentist prescribed it for her. I found out she has been buying it or trading something for it from a person at her school. She is 17 years old, I know that i do not have much time left to help her, she has told me she is moving out the moment she is able too. I think my daughter is addicted to drugs of other types also, i have been finding things in her room that are suspicious, white power on the dresser. little pieces of plastic with burn marks on the ends. broken pieces of metal with burn marks on them, some type of a glass ball with a hose wrapped tightly around it that goes into one side and a frickin butane torch in her room! I do not know what this stuff is, as fast as i throw it away she finds, buys or makes more of it. when I go through her bags she has pills wrapped up in plastic, she tells me they are vitamins but i know they are not. I am thinking about forcing her to have drug tests but i do not want to lose her and i have run out of options. AA did nothing, i think they made the situation worse. teen narconon was a joke. i am so frustrated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
