I’ve had to stop being involved in my daughter’s life and am having a difficult time trying to deal with the guilt, my wife and I are adopting her 6yr old son, our grandson and have also took her out of his life for now. Anyone have any similar experiences?

I would suggest that you, your wife and grandson go to see a therapist. That’s a heartbreaking situation for everyone. Nobody wants to cut off one of their children but sometimes it just has to be. Your grandson is probably confused by the situation too. Don’t feel guilty. You did what had to be done. A therapist will be able to help you all navigate through it.
