Dear CJR.........
Did it ever occur to you that your daughter might feel like the icons above you see here???? She does not know what she's doing, I assure you. I didn't!! I was the biggest
HAIR-BALL in the world, according to my oldest daughter.
She and her husband kept telling my husband that something was clearly wrong with me. It wasn't simple "change of life" I was going through. I had all the symptoms she's experiencing and more. I was very depressed and locked myself in my room with the curtain shut and the door shut for days on end. I knew something was terribly wrong, but I couldn't put my finger on it either. I do not have a mother or father any more that I can turn to, as they are both deceased. I wish I did. They wouldn't understand anyway, since my mother always denied any kind of major psychiatric problems. Oh well.................she may be trying to REACH out the only way she knows how.
She needs your love and guidance right now. You can do what they do on the show Intervention?, and it might work for you, but bear in mind that you do LOVE her too, not just your grandkids. She's feeling desperately ALONE.....I can vouch for that.................I made myself go with the help of my family dr. I wanted a diagnosis...........I was going crazy. I couldn't deal with my disorder alone. Once I went and got the right medication(s), things started to perk up. I felt human again and my actions improved too. Please help her help herself.
