Struggling...

[Emel1]

I am so missing my grandson and don't know how to lift this sadness that I feel every day when I wake. It's such a long story, too much to go in to, in short his mum had an affair became pregnant to another man and left the family home taking my grandson and moved in with the gentleman friend. I accept she must have wanted another life but all calls to my grandson are intercepted. I don't want to cause problems in her new life, I just want my grandson to know that I love him very much and will always be here for him if he needs me. I can't bear for him to think that I don't care. I used to look after him every weekend to allow his parents to go to work and he was my first grandchild and I am heartbroken at the thought I don't know how he's doing at school etc. It's really affecting my mental health on a daily basis now, I cannot talk with my son about it as he is in pieces too and I'm trying to hold it together for him.

I’m sorry emel that’s very heartbreaking, your son also must be very devastated. I’m trying to see and talk to my children right now as well. Im waking up sad as well, missing them to death. I want my children to know that I love them and care about them and am always here for them. I don’t know what else to do either. I pray a lot. I hope you get to see your grandchild soon.

Thank you so much for your reply, it's really hard to stay positive when it's the first thing in your head when you wake, it totally broke my son and destroyed his self esteem and confidence, he works all the extra hours he can now to pay bills, mortgage and child maintenance. He provides financially for his child but hasn't anything extra for treats, he deserves some happiness for himself, I feel helpless. I hope things work out for you, I wish you a happy outcome in your struggle too. Take care and let me know how things work out for you in the future.
