To day her baseball team lost their game but she is still happy she participated . We are looking like having to keep hher home till the school hols are over as she was suspended yesterday and we have a meeting to decide if it would be the best option .I am begining to wonder why things keep going back to this behaviour. I know that she has heaps to deal with but just when we think things are getting better she goes off the rails again . Oh well we are free to go away before the school break rush .

 

This is the state of ones heart after 10 years of raising a grandaughter. A child that was sexualy and Physicaly abused up to 3 years of age . This is a broken Child with lots of damage .This is not going to make any sense to the child till she is in her 20s then she may be able to handle somr of the hurt. I raised 4 children but this one causes more hurt than all those put together .Also she gives joy and love . This generation is not easy to deal with for anyone but with the generation gap of a child and grandparents it is even more diffacult.At the age of 13 there is self injuring and a lack of self respect .Talk of own life taking and general disruption .If there is anyone else out there in this situation I would love to swap stories .Ethel
