Tonight T e mails me and tells me he thinks watching my new grandchild is too dangerous to the baby given how hard a time I've had sleeping. I could get psychotic.....
OMFG! Join the club with my brother! I have never been so hurt or blind sided in my life. I'm due to start babysitting Monday and he just pulls this out of his ***** NOW?? I would never in a million years harm anyone, let alone my grandchild! I told T about how hurt I was when my brother did that to me and now T does the same thing! I feel that he either wants to hear 1) I am fine or 2) I am sick , in need of comittment.
I'm so hurt I could die. I can't see myself going back to him now.

BTW, My grandson is the only ray of hope in my life...the only person who always can make me smile. I love him more than anything.
hugs to you if ok.......my heart goes out to you, it really does. Having DID does not make us a threat to children and we are more than able to raise children without this kind of prejudice. We grow expecting it from others and the media but l think that we NEVER expect it from our T's. I can understand the hurt and pain your T's comment must have made to you. Don't give up or doubt yourself but instead try and use the love and hope that your grandchild gives you. Dont give up as giving up means giving up on your grandson which from your post l doubt that you could do. Know that you are not alone in this and hang onto the love, hope and ray of sunshine that is in your life right now. Only you know wether you are in a place right now to look after your grandchild, be guided by that

Know that you are not alone and keep posting
hugs
SAS xx
