Grandparents Raising Children Support Group
This community is dedicated to grandparents who are the primary caregivers of their grandchildren. In cases where the parents are not willing or able to provide adequate care for their children, grandparents may take on the role of primary caregivers. Join the support group to find support, share your experience, and get advice from other members.
Isn't it a great feeling when we find someone on here that has a lot of similarities to what we are going through? From this whole site there may only be 1 or 2 people who truly know how you feel when you are going through a difficult time with YOUR situation. There may be a lot of people in a community but there are not that many that have the scope of your problems. Sure, we can identify with 1 or 2 of your problems but to go through day after day what you alone are going through and then to find that one person who really gets it, that makes all the difference. But, the only way to find that one person is to post what you are going through. Without inhibition or fear of someone finding your posts.
I used to worry about what I posted on DS and who might be Googling my page but a thought just came to me that I wanted to share.
Everything I post on here is for the best interest of my grandchildren. I can not let myself worry that someone may find my posts and try to use them against me. My posts will only do the opposite. After all if we are all looking for support that right there tells you we care enough to seek help and or suggestions to ones that may be going through something similar.
This have given me a whole new perspective on writing journal notes. Yes, I guess you could say that someone may try to use it against you someday but think of the many benefits.... including:
Online friends
Support Groug 24/7
Almost immediate response to questions
Learn something new every day
And the only way we can do this is to post.... So. to all my friends on DS.... happy posting!

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
I don't see any time soon feeling safe about the journal. Maybe one day.....
You are so right, everything I post is for the benefit of my grandson. This situation is completely new to me and there are times I need words of wisdom and assurance that I am making the correct decisions for him, after all this is all about him.
