Grandparent is asked to be a parent, but doesn’t want to raise a child again
DEAR ABBY: My stepson passed away five years ago. Over the next two years, his widow moved several different guys in. She has neglected the two kids she had from a previous relationship. She was rarely home when the kids got home from school, and the house was a mess.
The department of children’s services finally removed them from her custody. The older two went to live with their father; we got the youngest daughter. I love her dearly, but I don’t want to be raising a child at this time in my life! I also don’t want to leave my husband. Please help.
— BURDENED IN TENNESSEE
