I am feeling so much pain and worry inside
it feels like my heart will physically break
I don't want to eat eat much and I can't sleep
I can't function normally, all I do is think
about my granddaughter who is in such pain
I am not allowed to talk to her
and I need to try to help her oh so bad
I want to hold her close to me and let her cry it all out
tell her I am here for her without a doubt and it will all work out
that none of this is her fault
to rid herself of all that quilt that she thinks belongs to her
she is still a child and should not have to be in so much pain
because of others' ignoring their responsibilitys' for so much of her life
always she had me to be there for her, she could always count on that
and I did everything in my power to make up for all others didn't do
not that they don't love her, for I believe they do
she just seemed to always be in the way, why I don't know
had their own "stuff" going on, if only they had known
what all that "stuff" would end up doing to our precious girl
I don't know what to do , am at my wits end
all I do is cry, I can literally feel her pain inside me
all this crap of who is right or wrong, all this tit for tat
has got to stop and stop in a hurry
she is what is important now, no matter anyones' feelings
it is her that counts, and a family we should be being
I have been told it is all out of my control, sorry I can't and won't accept that
it is unacceptable to me, there has to be a way for me to help her
I would lay down and die for her if that was the answer
why is it what I see no one else is seeing
the answers to help her are in all of us, if a family we were being
if that part is out of my control so be it
but as far as my granddaughter goes I can not give up EVER
I just no longer know what to do
I pray, I cry, I ask my mother from beyond the stars above
to give me strenght and quide me and please watch over our girl
what else can I do
I can no longer just do nothing, for I am so afraid
someone please help me!

As a grandma I fully understand what you are going through. Hold tight on to the love that you and she shares,for that is your anchor in life's ocean. Somehow, someway , something will come along to change things..Meanwhile if you need a friend......It's good that you can get your feelings out this way. Bless you...mal

I hear you
You could take them to court and adopt the child for mental abuse and neglect are at play in her home and this is indagering her well being and happiness . So many young people are so neglected today and the young adults feel more for their material things than the blessings before them .My heart goes out to you honey for my love for so many on this sight often is given every day to help them see through this horror and find their way and to find the ones who will embrace them with this love they so crave
