Feeling more Helpless

Just to update on previous post about GS sent a card to him and his partner also card and gifts to DGGD, heard nothing back, but we going away on Thursday to be honest still feel very guilty about this holiday at Christmas, If only one could turn a clock back.

Our GD his sister says just try and get on with your lives he will never change, I really don't want to Involve her with this but she is a good kind hearted 27 year old.

Yorkshiregal I don't know what building society you used but I couldn't open one for my grandkids without there birth certificates

For years I did the shoe boxes in ignorance then after seeing an account about it I read up and will never do them again .... I took the idea to use myself and this year organised and received over 200 'Happy Boxes' which went to Syria for the kids with nothing I arranged them to join a container which left the beginning of December took a bit of organising but I know they are going with no strings attached and no brain washing

Over60 I think you have done all you can it's a terrible difficult situation and I can't imagine how I would manage I m a great advocate in keeping the door open so I guess I would still send my thoughts and wishes each birthday and Christmas but realise I d probably never get anything back Sad sad but do enjoy your Christmas break ?

You have done what you can over60. Please enjoy your Christmas away. Hope and pray things will improve. I would continue to remember birthdays etc at least with a card.

Yes you have done all you can over60 plus, they are adults and must take responsibility for their actions. It's not down to you to struggle with this. Enjoy your holiday and relax, sometimes it's necessary to take a step back and let people go their own way.
