Lifting you up in prayer. There are places that can help your grand daughter get back on her feet and even help cover the cost for her son to go to day care while she goes to school or gets a job. Go to the dept of protective and regulatory services for a start.
Shirley you are in my prayers.
Sis, There is help availabe, try calling your local human services and ask them about day care and see whatever else is available. You do not and should bot have to take on the responsibilites yourself. I know how anxiety and fibro work and Im concerned about you. would it help is I talked to your grandaughter and asked her to look into available programs and to help watch her son because you are not well. I promise I will be nice maybe she just needs to hear from someone else.I hope your hubby is being supportive and Your sisters. I will be praying for you. Please call anytime. I Love You and want you to take care of YOU and never feel guilty either we are only human with limitations. You have gone above n beyond for her she needs to respect that and be understanding.
You are NOT alone
Love you sis and call your doctor too if you need to.
I am so sorry this is falling on your shoulders. As family, we do what we can to help each other....as mothers and grandmothers, we often do TOO much. When there are small children involved it\'s SO hard to say no. I agree with Lab1962 that you should check with local services to help you with daycare....maybe the boys/girls clubs, but not sure if they take children as young as 3?? As for your granddaughter...and I\'m speaking as a total outsider here....she is a grown woman who has made her choices and is where she is because of them. They were not your choices....you had no control then, and no control now over what she does or how she chooses to live now. It sounds to me like you\'ve done a lot...a WHOLE LOT! It may be time to say no to her and let her face the reality of what she\'s created? Hard? YES. But sometimes that\'s the only way. You can not, should not, allow her self destruction to take you down too. You can only do what you can do and you are not physically or emotionally capable of handling the drama that she lives in. Yes, you have my prayers....you also have my support in any decision you make. I\'m sorry for the stress you\'re under...truly, deeply sorry. I send love and positive energy to you sweet friend, hugs, Teri.
Always here for you, I wsih we were closer to give you a helping hand...little ones are hard..love and peace my friend..
Prayers for peace and strenght for you and your family. Dont know all the situation but it sounds like you are getting overwhelmed. You have to take care of yourself too.
I know how difficult a three year old can be and it is too much. You need help and I hope you get it.
