Just read your story. I cried. So many of us out there yet, I feel so alone in this most of the time. We've been raising our granddaughters for over two years now. They are 4 and 7. We have a very different story. Would be great if Women's Day would consider sharing some other stories as well. Perhaps one day.. Thanks so much for sharing. Many people just don't understand the Grand Family situation or how common it is becoming.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your comment. Yes, I'm hoping that this article will wake up other publications to the plight of grandparents raising grandchildren. There's so much more to be shared. A couple websites I'm on have helped me not feel so alone. If you're raising your grandchildren because of addiction, The Addict's Mom G2G (grandparent to grandparent) is wonderfully supportive. If it's for another reason, then Relatives Raising Grandchildren is a good site. You're not alone.
