Until you're in the same position as Cindy, you can't understand. I've called CPS on my daughter many times, as have the police and the therapists who worked with my daughter at various psychiatric hospitals. We can't even get CPS to open a case. It's all but impossible to take a child from a mother who has never actually caused the child physical harm, even when the child has been endangered. My daughter and her child, my beautiful granddaughter, now live with me. I'll be honest, I don't want my daughter here, she makes my life miserable, however my husband and I are dealing with it as best we can for the sake of my granddaughter. If my daughter took my granddaughter and left, I'd never have a moment's peace for the worrying. People think they have all the answers, but they don't. The fact is, I can not force my adult daughter to get more therapy, I can't force her to take her meds, I can't force her to get a job, I can't force her to go after the baby daddy for support, and I can't let her out of my sight with the baby.
I know exactly what you are dealing with. We even talked to a lawyer, who said it would be very difficult to get guardianship and near impossible to get custody. The consequences of not ever seeing her again if we lost was more than we could deal with, so we are doing the same thing you are. Just putting up with alot of BS. I think this is why I am so emotional over this case.
