Hello All, I am new here. I have been lurking for a few months and have learned SO much.
My daughter is a Meth addict and has basically abandoned her FOUR children, expecting me to raise them.
I am not in the best of health and I have cried to her and been honest telling her and my husband that
"I am NOT physically able to do this". I do have a niece who is willing to take FULL custody of the children
and setting all PRIDE & EGO aside think that would be in the best interest of the kids. She is young, healthy and
has a STABLE, HAPPY home. These children are the innocent VICTIMS here, they have been abused, verbally & physically
which causes me to have a range of emotions toward my daughter from disgust, pity, anger, resentment, etc
Is it normal for a grandmother to NOT want to raise her own grandchildren (3 are in elementary & 1 baby)??
Any advice/opinions welcome...I am starting to feel like I am the crazy one??!!
Oh and to be honest I cannot stand to be around my own daughter...I am ashamed of THAT too! :/
EXHAUSTED & Going CRAZY in Georgia....Tami
