After trying my best over three years to look after my grand-daughter whilst suffering from chronic depression and anxiety (which my daughter knew about), I suggested that my daughter find a nice playgroup so that she could learn to socialise, as it was evident she didn't get on with other children. To be honest I was really too unwell to keep being a childminder and like many found it exhausting, although obviously got very close to my grand-daughter and she to me. My daughter's attitude was to ask me for the 'key' back and to stop me seeing her! There were other issues but I have to say I am horrified what a heartless uncaring person my own daughter has turned out to be. She has now caused so much trouble in the family that I don't see any of my three children or four grand-children! I am, of course, heartbroken, and my depression persists but I do not have the emotional resources to deal with the harsh attitudes towards me that my children have developed.
I feel like I have 'failed' as a parent, despite bringing up my children myself and not seeking work until the youngest had reached secondary school. Not sure what I did wrong but I now wonder why I ever had children at all.
Grand-parents have no rights to their grandchildren and despite many attempts at trying to see my grand-daughter by offering ballet lessons and so on I have had to stop having my feelings hurt and have for the last three years not seen my grand children at all!
What do you think would go well with coasters like this?
