About Me
I'm in my 50's & a grandmother who is living with/helping my 89 year old mother as well as living with & raising my teenage aspie grandaughter (16) whose I have had legal custody of for many years because my daughter & my GD's father are drug addicts. Currently 2009, my GD treats me like crap & we have no communication in our home. I worry about how she is going to live independently in 2 years when she's 18 because I cannot tolerate living with someone who acts like they hate me 24/7. There is no place else for her to go unless her deadbeat dad who is now in prison steps up to the plate. He has been writing her & seems to be doing better. I need all the advice I can get. I think my GD needs occupational & social therapy but she is opposed to it and she is in denial that she is an aspie.... my life sucks right now...

Not a problem. I am glad to help. Let me know if you have any other questions or just want to talk.

Hope things improve... I am not going to presume too much, but it sounds somewhat tough for you right now -and I just wanted to apologise for blocking up the posts, I just got carried away because I genuinely wanted to help...
I didn't know what stage she was at mentally so I feel kinda bad for writing all that when obviously it's a lot tougher to just get her out into the world and money is always a problem.... I don't know what else to say but, you can always come back again for more advice... Probably not best to take it from a 19 year old lol but some of the adults with kids/grandkids with Aspergers may understand a lot better....

I hope that eventually your granddaughter learns how much you care and that you are just trying to help her. I think once she learns that, it will be easier to give her advice. Also, I am just wondering if your granddaughter is angry at the fact her parents have basically left her life and that is why she is acting the way she is. Maybe she is acting hateful so that she will not get close to you and eventually lose you. Maybe she is distancing herself so she will not get hurt if she does lose you. Considering you were close before, I think she probably does still care, she is just hurting and scared a lot deep inside.
Hang in there, it sounds like you are doing very well considering the situation.
