My Grandaughter

Comment Published at 16:0016:003 comments3 comments49 Visits49 VisitsReport
Yesterday I received a call from her School to say they had had enough of her bulling behavour and her Cutting her arms and such so she was not wanted in the school any more .Now it is trying to get her settled into a new school . I have discussed her agreeing to taking some of the drugs that mental health are offering but she refuses to do that . .She has a court case looming because she got angry and brokee a window and haddent told us about it . Is there any way we can get her to accept this medication to try and stop her totaly ruining her life . The school she is now going to have to attend has at least 1000 kids and I cant see her lasting long there The private school that she was going to only had 300 kids all up and they were wondefull with her but I guess when they cant see any improvement either they have to do something about it ..Please if you have ay constructive advice feel free to pass it on to me .I am at my wits endat the moment.

Where is gratitude

Comment Published at 00:5600:561 comments1 comments93 Visits93 VisitsReport
Today I spent most of the day working through the mess of my grandaughters room .Her Father came to visit and for Tea ( He had no money left for food ) and he founn our interactions too noisy and tried to tell me how I should handle the child (She has been in my care since 10 years) I realy lost it and told hiom to try and raise his daughter if he he knew it all . It is not like me to rub it in but I had enough after 10 years of Finincal struggle (Not a cent from either parent To help out Not even someting good for special days) How can I keep on going without making the situation worse . My husband has just had a 300 dollar drop in his wage and this is killing us . I think that is probably the main reasion I was so irritable .Am I wrong to voice my opinions .

Christmas Stress

Comment Published at 21:2221:220 comments0 comments116 Visits116 VisitsReport

Have I given my friends their presents You know the ones I havent wraped yet maybe they are under my bed .This is the feeling in our house today . If only my little nudges to get thingsin order when we went shopping a week ago had stuck . Oh well only a few years and all this will be her responsibility alone . We might be able to go to the club and leave her to it .(DReam on )Maybe next year we can forget about Christmas and Fly to another Planet or something . Merry Christmas to you all in the same boat
