I would also say phone your son - don't talk to him about anything other than your GD and try and make a playdate for you with her. If you don't want to call him drop him and email or a letter. Simply stating you don't want his problem with you to taint what you have with your GD. Sending you extra {{{{{iamsally}}}}}}

Meantime, you and mr. iamsally will have to be very, very kind to each other and be each other's support group more than ever. The added bonus: you have Villains, dlandfan8, and the Mantecan Angels on your side....can't ask for much more than that (other than a quick dissolution of these heart-breaking trials) {{{{{Ruthie & Rod}}}}}

Originally Posted By Schmitty Good Vibes ^^^^iamsally^^^^ (That's a Schmitty hug) I'm so sorry you are going through this. I can empathize. I saw my grandson at my father's funeral when he was a month old. I didn't see him again for more than another three years. Now things are great. Hang in there, and go listen to some Beatles. Love, Schmitty
Originally Posted By Tinkeroon Ruthie, you have our prayers, you know that. We haven't been around much for you guys lately. And I'm sorry to hear about all this. You did mention it at dinner when we went but I don't think it had escalated to this degree. I had hoped that it all worked out. Keep the faith, the stiff upper lip, and all that tough love going. You're stronger than you think. And you have each other to lean on too. You guys are always in our hearts. Hugs to you both!!!
Originally Posted By iamsally Thought I'd give you all a brief update. Total crisis has been averted for the time being. My daughter-in-law had taken the baby to San Diego for Thanksgiving. They had been so secretive that I was just sure she was going to stay. Yesterday was my son's birthday so we went over to the house with some presents and Dana and the baby were there. There rent seems to be covered so maybe she got some money from her family. My son said he has filled out several applications and they are coming for Thursday night dinner and planning on spending Christmas with us. So I feel better for now but with this kid you have to keep your guard up cuz he has been breaking my heart for about 20 years now.

I'm so happy to hear that things are looking up and especially that you got to hug your granddaughter! Continued good thoughts are coming your way for the Christmas season.

I'm glad that your son has some applications in and that you'll get to see your family on Christmas. Remember, hang tight!!!!! ~terri
