[QUOTE="elizabrary, post: 764187, member: 11235"] Hi Dandelion- How well I know what you are going through. I kicked my daughter out when she was 19 and had an infant. I had many, many sleepless nights worrying about the baby. Until she was about 6 their life was very unstable. My daughter and granddaughter were in and out of my life during those years. When my daughter was being insane I had to cut them off and it was so very difficult because I worried about my granddaughter and she and I have always been close. The good news it that my daughter has turned her life around, has a wonderful job, and is in law school. However, I still worry about how those early years affected my granddaughter, who at this point is an absolute delight. For you I hope the child's mother is in a better place. I called CPS on my own daughter numerous times, which was also horrible. I can tell you because my granddaughter was shifted around so much in her early years she is an extremely adaptable kid. She makes friends easily and is very resilient. I try to always find the good in a bad situation. I know the pain and fear you are feeling and I wish I could do something to help you. Please be extra kind to yourself and spend this time investing in you. I had to really work to develop and maintain my peace of mind while I was going through all of this with my daughter. Sending peace to you. [/QUOTE]
