Hello again
RainsFor you to see one of your grandchildren go into state custody and then find your daughter is having yet another child is such a a heartbreaking story! No grandmother should have to face a situation like yours. I can only imagine how difficult it was for you to make the decision to alert Child Protection Services. You truly were between a rock and a hard place but the welfare of that baby had to take precedence over your daughter. You did the right thing!
You write..."it is very difficult and hard to find someone who truly understands"...let me tell you I do understand. No one in my circle of friends...my family...walked in my shoes. More often than not when I would break down and tell my story, I would be met with silence. Although I knew there wasn't anything anyone could do to change what was happening with my daughter, I so needed someone to let me know I was being heard and acknowledge my pain. I hear you and I acknowledge your pain.
I so hope you continue on here, Rains. Support in your journey is what you need and you will find that support here. For me, just putting my fingers on the keyboard...pouring out my heart and my hurts...made a difference.
