A daughter with 2 children living at home

anyone on here in this situation? My 29 year old daughter along with her 2 daughters live with us. she is 4 weeks sober.(mostly alcohol and some cocaine) she just lost her second teaching job which prompted her visit to a treatment center.
the 2 beautiful granddaughters are why we have "enabled" so long.
anyone in a similar situation? thanks

Hi and Welcome,

I hope your daughter is seeking help for her addiction.

You need to take care of yourself.

I'm sure there are many who have gone out of their way for family members, in the hope they would get clean and sober. I, myself, had my 52 year-old heroin addicted son living with me for 10 years...and, I should have known better, since I have many years of sobriety through AA. But, it's not so easy to "detach with love"...easier said than done.

Fortunately, he went into rehab last year and recently celebrated one year of sobriety. So, it can happen for your daughter, too.
