We all have these family members. I learned ...Sigh. We all have these family members. I learned a long time ago (very tough to do so) that they find a way without us sometimes. My meter for drama is calibrated really high right now, so the alarm goes off if someone breezes by the driver's side door. You don't want children to suffer, but you don't want to enable dysfunction either. It's such a fine line. After 18 years of doing that dance, I've found an alternate path in my own familial situation and though there is some peace there, it never feels comfortable.Conceiving Hopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03770621765962940873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-735636060989557763.post-10089378240406398792014-08-30T00:01:44.036-04:002014-08-30T00:01:44.036-04:00Yep...we got family drama over here as well...it&#...Yep...we got family drama over here as well...it's hard when there are kids involved. My brother just went through a nasty divorce and his oldest son has just been an emotional time bomb...my brother did get full custody and it's just going to take time..lots of time. My ex-SIL would call my parents to crab about their son...really. Did she really think they would side with her? It would upset my parents and I told them...that is what she wants to do. Just hang up when she calls!<br /><br />Sounds like your step niece has to get herself together and really think about the decisions she's making.prayerfuljourneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15549430693172260600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-735636060989557763.post-84092810037378085692014-08-29T21:20:39.968-04:002014-08-29T21:20:39.968-04:00this is so hard!!!!
