I am writing a letter to my grandparents and social worker. Please let me know what you think.
Dear (grandma, grandad and social worker),
I am finding it really hard to talk or communicate at the moment. I am not doing it on purpose or to spite you. I am really angry about lots of things and feel sad that at first you said Arielle could live with us and then she couldn't. When you stop me from seeing her because I won't talk and do bad things when I'm angry it makes me feel even worse and never want to speak to any of you again. Please help me to be less angry and not more angry. I hurt so much and it hurts even more than I ever thought i coukd when I can't see my baby. Please stop punishing me and I will talk to you when I can. I promise I am not doing it on purpose I just can't talk right now. More than anything I would like to see my baby. She is the only good thing I have right now and it feels like my whole body is cut open when I can't see her. Please listen,
Love,
Ashley

The only suggestion I have is to write a separate letter for each person. Even the grandparents are 2 separate entities with different strengths and struggles in the mix. Just a suggestion from just-a-patient.
Good stuff, Ashley. I likes.
