No good deed

goes unpunished. If I ever doubted that I don't now. Some of you are aware of my daughters illness, and the fact that I have ended up with her, her daughter, now her 14 year old (far down the wrong road) son, and soon her 15 yr old (far down the wong road) son. Well today, the **** the fan. My husband and I took off for a few hours and while we were gone someone forced their way into our bed room which we lock because they have stolen things from us before. It was one of those things that you really had to be there to know how really bad it was. My daughter and her sons cussed at us and called us every thing in the book and blasted us with how horrible we are. Well they decided that I am nothing but a b so the b spoke. The boys are out now and my daughter and grand daughter are out in a month. I know this sounds cruel, but I don't really care where they go. I will not be disrespected and abused in my own home.

Oh Hazel, I hate you have had to do this. I do understand though. If they don't respect you and your husband, they don't need to live with you. You've already raised your children and they'll be okay in the long run. Maybe it will help them understand if they don't treat people the right way, no one's gonna help them out. You did what you needed to do. Good to hear from you, sorry it had to be bad news. Karla

Hey Hazel, I am sorry this had to happen to you. I cannot imagine how heartbroken you are at this point but you are making the right decision. She has to learn to be responsible for her own actions, right or wrong, she has to own up to them. I know when my brother was going through his stage in life with my sister in law and their first child, he wasn't being responsible and wanted to come back home, the hardest thing for my mother was to tell him "NO," she agonized over this and it bugged her but he became a man that day. He got a job and started supporting his family and has been ever since. My brother had later came to my mom and told her that at first he was pissed off but then later come to realize that she had done the right thing, and that he was happy she had done it. So, hopefully in the end the lesson will be learned and they will all grow up in the end. Take Care!! Kelli

Hazel, that really sucks that you had to be put in that position, but I am sure you know already it was the right thing to do. You were only enabling them to continue down the path they were on by letting them stay with you. Your daughter is responsible for herself and her children now, as it should be. They all crossed the line and it was about time they got what was coming. I hope you can stick to your guns and follow through with your decision, I know how hard it must be to do but you are right, you do NOT need to be disrespected at all, let alone in your own home. We are here for you if you need to vent. Karyn
