I need your prayers!!!

Hi hope this helps first I feel OK to say this I am an alcoholic six years now without a drink and the only way to go forward is by aa and unfortunate that you can only suggest this to your daughter as if she is not ready she will not want help and keep drinking with the knock on effect lying chaos problems so wish you well will pray not sure allowed to pass mobile on to talk further and private .As for your grandson I am sure he is the world to you and far better with family who love him than in care try get doctors letters friends letter anyone you can think to support your case to have him with you thinking of you all and remember alcohol is an illness x

I have been thinking about you and your situation since I read this late last night, I keep trying to put myself in your place as to how I would feel, it must be awful.
I shall pray to my god and keep thinking about you in the hopes that you can feel all the love and support that is surely heading your way from GNetters

I shall pray for your family in my own way, as I am not religious- and my heart and thoughts are with you.

My thoughts are with you. What a time you are having.

I hope things improve for you soon

Thank you so much

As hard as it is I have to separate my DD's alcoholism from MYSELF otherwise I am torn and I am NOT torn , my loyalties lie with my GS entirely

I think this is what I have to show them that nomatter what my DD says does or tries to do I must not lose focus from my GS or give in to her

It is hard because she is my DD and there is no off switch for the LOVE but it does mean often seperating myself from HER physically as well

In the future if our relationship is restored that will be so good as I do want her to be well and fine , neither of which she is at present so I have to deal with the present situation

nannynoo I pray that your little grandson and you are reunited and that your daughter seeks help for her alcoholism. Never give up hope.

Nannynoo, I`m not a religious person, but I`m sending all my thoughts and good wishes to you.

hope it all works out

My thoughts and prayers are with you nannynoo. Two of my DGS's have ASD's and I know how important a stable life is to them, and how much they need a routine. I hope all goes well and your GS comes to live with you, as you will be able to give him love and stability better than anyone else. and [hugs]

Prayers and lots of positive vibes go to you Nannynoo.

nannynoo you and your family will be in my prayers. I hope your grandson comes to you as you obviously will give him the love he needs. Come on here for support whenever you need it ((hugs))

My thoughts and good wishes are with you nannypoo.

nannynoo praying for you all.

What a heart rending situation. My thoughts are with you and yours and wishing you the happiest outcome.

Thank you so much everyone , yes fully agree there is no more I can do for my DD

I gave her the number for Drinkline and said if she is really bad go A & E and as to see a Psyche doctor

She asked if she could stay over for a few days

I did not reply to that text

It is that poor little boy I am focusing on , he has no clue what is going on but needs security and consistency and deserves to be happy and have the rest of his family around him , everyone is missing out because of the actions of 1 person who needs to move forward and get the help she needs

And onwards and upwards for the rest of us! x

nannynoo best wishes and good vibes coming your way. Stay strong.

nannynoo I'm so sorry to hear this, my thoughts are with you.

I am praying nannynoo x And will carry on praying.

Thoughts and prayers with you, nannynoo You have a lot on your plate.

Very best wishes nannymoo
Hopes and prayers are with you x

Aww. I hope you get him full time. Fingers crossed and a prayer (belt and braces )

nannynoo the best help you can give your DD right now is to focus on your DGS. It sounds contradictory, but there is really nothing you can do for your daughter. She needs to admit she has an ongoing problem and seek help from the right places. Your DGS on the other hand is an innocent victim of all this and your energies would be best directed towards helping him. Without you, your DD runs the risk of losing her son altogether.

I wish you all the very best in your re-assessment

I am so sad for you. I will pray for a good outcome for you, your daughter and your poor little grandson who, as you say, is the innocent child in all of this. Keep strong

Thank you everyone!!!

Yes you are right Greenfinch

I asked for peace today and BOY did I need it!!!

It was a stressful visit with DD behaving and saying irrational and inappropriate things including insulting me ( called me a dried up old prune! lol ) and swore in front of my GS and all these things are NOTED ie written down by the contact worker , so I remained calm and did not respond and did my best during the visit for my GS

This 'dried up old prune' might just be the one to help save my GS from being permanently in care because I am willing to do the consistent hard work of raising her son while she is not able to

It is so sad as she texted me after the visit and said ''Mum I need help''

She is not in a good place right now! But I have to concentrate on caring for my GS
