I feel your pain! I am the grandmother of a beautiful little 6 year old granddaughter. Last year my daughter left her husband and came home. My "A" (really!) and I were inseparable. We have always been close and she knows that nanny is always there for her. Well, long story short, my daughter has lost her mind and the child's father is an evil sociopath. They have kept her from me, have broken me financially and emotionally and have put me in a position of having to battle for "A" in court. The laws for kids are awful! No one listens to them or looks out for them. I am angry, hurt, broken-hearted and don't know where to turn. We raise our children with values and love and when they turn around and hurt us through our children it is twice the pain. I hope your situation changes soon and I know how hard this is for you. I was immediately drawn to you from the title of your post. If anyone knows how to help us grandmothers who just want the best for our grandkids- PLEASE let us know. the pain is unbearable.
