I rented a two bedroom apartment & allowed my 17 year old daughter to move in along with her 2 month old baby (my 1st grandchild). She got pregnant at 16 & moved in with her boyfriend & his parents during the pregnancy.
When the baby was about 2 months old my daughter called me crying because her boyfriend apparently had cheated on her. She asked me to come get her & the baby because she was breaking up with him.
I did go pick them up, but I told her that she could not live with my boyfriend & I. First of all she's the laziest person I've ever met, 9th grade drop out, a thief, & compulsive liar (she told people that I threatened to kick her in the stomach to kill the baby. Also told people that her father used to rape her on a weekly basis while I was serving over seas for the Air Force .
So my boyfriend & I told her that we would help her get an apartment, but she would have to find a job & get her GED.
We paid the $800 security deposit, 3 months rent upfront, & agreed to pay for 2 more months (total of 5 months rent). She was to get a job in order to pay for the electricity, water, etc.
However, it's now been 4 months, & she has no job nor has she done anything about the GED.
Then we recently found out that she started dating a 27 yr old man, who by his own admission, is a heroin addict. He also stated he is bipolar, schizophrenic, been in 3 mental institution (1 for 8 months), & is a self admitted cutter. Also, he is not allowed to see his daughter (4 yrs old)unless supervised with his mother present.
I just found out that she has let him move in to the apartment that my boyfriend & I got for her.
She does not take care of my grandchild very well, I've reported a few instances to DSS, but of course they want to turn everything around to make it look like I neglected her since she is 17. However, if it wasn't for my boyfriend & I she would have nothing.
