I just got an e-mail from my daughter. I don't know what to do at this point. She said she doesn't want any contact from us and that she wants the children to have stability and she knows she can't give it to them. She said she is going to "disappear" and to not try and contact her or she would change her number. I love her and realize that she has some issues, but she will be 32 years old and she has to make her own decisions. I pray for her daily. Please pray for her that she will get the help she needs. Thanks for being here for me when I need you.
Prayers here, Ohio Gma. I cannot even imagine being like that with my mom. I am blessed that we are close. I have a good friend who has a sister that makes me think of your dd. She has dependency problems and is bi-polar and that is not a good combo,. It is so hard for her because when her sister crashes she is always there for her no matter how mad she had been. You know we are always here for you!!
I hate to hear that. She clearly does not realize how great she could have it. I will be praying for you guys.
I agree, I hope and pray that your daughter finds her way to healing and that she wants to be a part of your life for her sake and her childrens. You are in my thoughts and prayers!!!
Ohhhh, this is sooo sad! I will pray for her---that she finds her way, and turns to God for strength, and comes back into the family working, with God, on becoming a whole person! I also pray for you, Gma, to have strength and wisdom in dealing with this situation, and in raising your grandchildren to grow in God! I pray for your heart, that it will not ache, but beat with God's love and care! I pray for Elijah and Gianna, that they will not be hurt by the way their mom is acting, but will grow strong in the Lord, with God's and your help! Take courage, God is with you and hears our prayers!
Sorry, I am new here an don't know the story? Did your daughter leave her children? What @ their father? Sorry, if it's sensitive, you don't have to answer in this case. Praying for you and kids
Ohio G'ma I'm sorry. I will be praying for her, you and the kids. Those kids are so blessed to have you. I know it is rough and I will keep your family in my prayers.
My heart just breaks for you. I know your have to be hurting right now but you know you have to think of Elijah and Gianna and the family you have with Don and them. I will be praying for you and your daughter and hope she finds peace in her life soon. God bless you as you continue to raise those precious children. Beth
Thanks everyone for all your care, concerns and prayers. Elijah is almost 13, he asked to call his mom today. I told him to read the e-mail. He understands completely. He really hasn't lived with his mom, he lived with her until he was about 2. He has only know us. Dolphin, my daughter has always been a disturbing person, even as a child. Nothing ever was enough for her. No matter how much attention she received, in her eyes it was never enough. She has never held down a job for more than 6 weeks. She says she is bi-polar one minute and then the next says it's something else. We have had her in counseling when she was a teenage and she always told the counselor what he/she wanted to hear. When she turned 16, she thought it was going to be a great, wonderful change in her life. When it wasn't, she couldn't understand. I guess she expects fireworks all the time. She has been with MANY men and uses them for their money. When they run out of money, she finds another one. I care for her and pray that one day she will let the Lord be her caretaker and depend on Him, but until that time, she will always be looking for someone or something to fill the void that she is experiencing. We pray for her daily and then give her to the Lord, that is all we can do. As far as her children, I know she loves them, but they get in her way. I give her a lot of courage to give them to me. She could be selfish in that respect and then abuse them, but she knows it is best for them to be with me. Thanks again for all your prayers.
I'm sorry for you and your DD. I hope someday she find her way back to her children's lives. Although, right now it seems like this may be the best thing for all. Hoping someday she get the help she needs.
Prayers here as well. Although it does sound like a part of her wants to do the right thing. She knows she can't be a good mom and is stepping back to allow you to raise the "precious ones" in the best way possible.
As a child who was abandoned by her mother, left at her grandparents...I pray for the kids. I'll pray for her too, God does have a plan and God can do amazing things. My biological mother became a christian when I was in my 20's and the Lord used a lot of her remaining years on earth mending a relationshp that had been broken almost at birth. Praying. All around. Praying.
I am sorry to hear you are having problems with your dd again. I will pray for all of you! Maybe one day your dd will make a turn around as Krista's mother did. God can use anyone! God can turn any life around.
OhioGrandma I am so sorry it turned out this way I hope and pray it works out for you all soon. That is so sad for the children... I am so glad that God put you in there life and they didn't have to go to a foster home.. OhioGrandma have a place in heaven.
