I need advice on if this is normal in my situation. Some may have seen my previous posts on other boards.
My husband is a heroin addict. I had a police escort with me to take my kids because my husband, when he's withdrawing, he's a demon. I think that may have been rock bottom for him. He's drained all of our finances, and I've turned to the church to get help keeping our utilities on. I'm in quite the mess but my husband seems to have opened his eyes a bit and is in detox trying to get sober.
Through all of this I have tried to help him but finally got to my wits end and have applied for every government assistance program possible and subsidized housing and childcare while I finish my degree and get on my feet so I can leave him.
Whether my husband follows suit and actually takes this to heart I don't care. I have everything (and then some) lined up to leave him and am in the process of doing so. But my parents are visiting from (home state).
My mom texted me this evening after a very bad visitation with my husband in detox and told me maybe it would be in my kids best interest for them to take them back to (home state) while I get things sorted out.
My parents have no interest in raising more kids, and I have no interest in sending my kids away from me as I am figuring things out on my own. But is this something I need to look out for as far as grabby grandparents go? I feel like my mom seriously overstepped even suggesting that.
