One thing I have asked myself today is was I too close to my DGS???
The answer came back ''NO''
I just wondered if I was too involved or too close to him as I saw him REGULARLY , looked after him regularly , loved having him at my house for weekends and school holidays etc and vice versa
My DD did need extra support simply for being a single Mum with an Autistic little boy , it is hard and you do need a break from time to time or some ''respite'' so I was happy to do that as a family is a ''team'' :-)
IF she wasn't drinking my DGS would still be here with me for weekends and school holidays etc , he would have seen my new house , his room , the garden , things would just be ''carrying on as normal''
The ABNORMALITY of this situation is due to my DD's alcoholism , him being separated from us is due to my DD's alcoholism , so NO I wasn't ''too close'' to my DGS it was a NORMAL loving relationship with him feeling comfortable and at home at Nannys house , regularly staying over and adoring his Nanny , the love hasn't changed , the circumstances have and I know for SURE everything would be ''continuing as normal'' if my DD wasn't drinking with him staying over etc and LOTS of contact
I just hope and look to it returning to that some time soon , coz ''normal'' was GOOD and regular and consistent and relaxed and secure and HAPPY!!
I think sometimes things have to go full circle until you get back to normal or make progress , a lot learnt , wiser , see things clearer , it's like going back to the start and starting again but from a healthier more forward place! xx
Anyone else too wet for seed potatoes?
