Grandma of 49 raisin my grandchild while dealing with her mother(Bipolar)and dealing with the father of child which took her at 15 while he was 25.

DA did nothing about that(bastards),he wants the child so it is costing an arm and leg for lawyer and also filed bankrupt,IRS after me and hubby over back taxes.

Husband has stopped calling or coming home(truck driver)i have one vehicle(old truck)on its last leg.

Im all alone(no family around)i find myself sleeping more and more,not getting chores done as i should.

I cry more than i ever have in my past,i try and tell myself other have it harder than me but somehow thats just not working anymore.

sad in Texas

Helpful thread is interesting. The best advise comes from people who have experienced your situation. I have walked down the path of ruin, destitution, physical violence and homelessness while a single parent.

Real people can help you more than forum people.

I am so sorry for you. I truly am. It takes a very special type of lady to handle the long stretches of time left alone from a husband that travels often. And a very young grandma to boot adds stress too. My very humble advice is to reconnect with your husband and try to reestablish your family, let faults be water under the bridge because you, your daughter, and the baby need you and him united as one family ....strong and loving. If this is not possible, and this cross is yours alone....reach out. You need a little suport. Someone to give you a pat on the back now and then. God bless you. I think you are awesome for taking care of your grandchild. There is nothing like a living mother. Live, Angelhelper.

We all have things we feel we have no one to talk to about. Sometimes it just helps to unload it to help free your mind and heart. The longer we hold things inside us, the more stressed and depressed we become. This is a "no fault" thread, someone else is, or have, gone thru what you are struggling with and will probably comment back to you. I have some great volunteer counselor type members on here that will get back to you sooner or later. JUST DUMP IT HERE. DF

I was amazed to see the number of people in need a concerned ear to hear them, or just vent. I knew there were vast numbers of people out there that needed an outlet, any outlet. The response so far has been most encouraging, and the attention they have received is beyond reproach. As the volume of posters increase, as it will, just know that we may not be able to respond quickly. How ever, know that I will read them, all of them, and we will do our best to answer you as available to do so. Therefore, I ask you check back in, someone will respond. I also expect that I will have more qualified, caring members stepping up to try and help you in some way. Feel free to come here with out fear of being scoffed at or ignored. You are welcome here. hf DF

You are not alone now that you have reached out to us. Nor will you be. I am so sorry, my heart goes out to you. Stay with us, my helpers will be along soon. DF

Hi DF! Sorry I'm pokey tonight. I was outside rescueing a grape plant from my dog.

Hi sweetie. I'm sorry you have to shoulder this. You're NOT alone. I've had cancer and so have many others here. I was lucky enough not to need chemo or radiation. My surgery got it all, but it did trigger other health problems later.

May I ask, what kind of cancer do you have? Do your kids live very far from you? If they're close, they may surprise you. Please come back and we can talk. I'm free for a long time tonight.

Hi Tb, just saw this on my way out and am glad you have time tonight. It's heartbreaking for sure and must make the OP feel very alone, abandoned and betrayed.

I'm wondering though, if it's really that they're too busy living their lives or that it could be that they too are scared, and if they aren't around while OP is going through it, they can stay in denial and feel everything will be ok?

I wonder too, what Op would like to change if it were possible to change things with them.

Hope OP comes back and talks to you. It would be a lonely situation.

I feel better now, I know you guys will care for her if she comes back, as I expect she will. Fingers crossed. DF
