Hi this is my first time here and I'm looking for a bit of advice and support please.
My ES has been married for 3 years and has an 8 month old daughter,our first grandchild. Things have been wonderful and we have so enjoyed becoming grandparents to our little darling but we have had our world tuned up side down these past few weeks when we came home from holiday to find our son had had a breakdown and was back staying at our house.
It turns out that he is suffering from OCD and was feeling distant and confused and when challenged by our DIL he spilled the lot out to her about what's been going through his head , some of it really not very pleasent for her to hear and mainly aimed at his lack of feelings towards her.
She is of course devastated and we are now trying to pick up the pieces while supporting them all and helping with our GD but my heart is shattered.
We have this darling baby who smiles through it all bless her heart and I'm feeling like someone has thrown a bomb in to our lives, we have looked after her all weekend which has been wonderful and are trying to support DIL as much as we can while ES gets his head straight, DIL understands he's not right but I feel broken that we didn't see this coming and a bit of a failure as a mum.
Thank god for my long suffering hubby who is an absoloute star, he lets me cry my heart out and offers endless reassurance that all will be well while I know how much enis hurting himself, he's a proud man and just wants to protect his family but this is even beyond him.
Thanks you for listening X
