I had said I would discuss this later on a previous discussion. Anyways she is one of the twins, 26 years old and drives me nuts, gets together with a different guy I swear every year and pops out another kid. This time he is way way older and abusive from what I hear and yep pregnant again. I don't think she will ever change and or stop. She also does drugs, so no I wont have here her to stay when we have a 10 year old to start with. My health would not hold up to all the stress either. So we are trying to get her to go to a shelter. She also bad talks me every chance she gets because she says I don't love her as I wont let her live here again and tear us all apart here. So yeah this is my problem child.

I tried to think of how to respond to your post. I hope you can find a way to help her. Here is an interesting quote that you may find helpful in your dilemma.

I love this quote, thank you. It is hard but until she decides to change her life it is hard because all I can do is sit back and watch basically.

@Ithink It's tough you can only be their to support them and pick up the pieces. Sometimes learning the hard way...is the only way

@dgobucks226 I agree but tough love sucks at times.

Oh. what a sad state! I'd do what you're planning to do. Sending her to the shelter is the right thing to do.

I need her to realize this is what she needs to do and it is for the best, wish I could just make her.
