[QUOTE="Kathryn, post: 702077, member: 20947"] Thank you so much, Amann, for your comments. My heart aches for you and your 'loss' - being unable to interact with our grandchildren is so terribly cruel. My daughter is on her 'roller coaster' at the moment - and because she relies on me for 'babysitting' (she continues to lose jobs, and cannot afford to hire babysitters), I am able to see my grandson. I realize all too well that this can and will change the next time she decides to lash out at me. Through your words, and those of others (along with therapy and reading) I am learning how to "communicate" with my daughter - VERY CAREFULLY! - and how to maintain a healthy distance in order to salvage my sanity. As I've said in earlier comments, I am beginning a new full-time job next week - and while I do not relish the fact that I must work to survive, I realize it may be a blessing in disguise. Having my days taken up with work related tasks and stresses, will definitely take my mind off these continuing crises with my daughter. I pray that you may find some peace and resolution (even if only temporary) in the near future. There is definite comfort in numbers. Warmest wishes and hugs~~ [/QUOTE]
