I know what you are going through. My daughter has the habit of showing up when she wants to. I have gotten much stronger and made her stick with the visitation that was ordered by the courts. She gets to see her daughter 2 times a week for an hour each time. It is supervised visitation and I do not do it, the baby's other grandparent does. I think it is easier on the child that way and if my daughter misses a visitation then she has to wait until the next set time to see her. This has taken the pressure off of me and I feel that the baby has done better with a set visitation because before her mom would show up everyday for a couple of weeks then she would disappear for a few weeks leaving the baby confused and hurt.

I wish these mothers would open their eyes and see what their children are going through. My daughter thinks that she is going to get custody back of her daughter. She has relapsed so many times that she will have to be clean and have a house and a job for a year before she can even think about getting her back. I asked her one time when she was talking about getting her back to consider what her daughter would go through after living with us over a year now. My daughter just said that it was her daughter and she would just have to adjust to living with her. Our gd has lived with us for almost 2 yrs now and I feel that it would tear her up to take her away from everything that she loves. My daughter could care less what it will do to her daughter, her thoughts are that it is her daughter and she will just have to adjust. How much more selfish can she get. That is why my husband and I are going to try and adopt her so she will not have to live in constant fear of being taken away from the only home that she has known. I guess what I am trying to say is take the action to protect your grandchild so she doesn't have to live like this the rest of her life.
