I've been guilty of internalizing my emotions in the past. So, I'm acknowledging here the deep sorrow I've been feeling the last few days. I miss my grandsons and feel so bad for them. Their mom's in jail(substance abuse) and their father will have to do it all for awhile. I'm working my way out of a very long depression and I can't really be of help. It just hurts on so many different levels.

I'd like to go see the boys but I'm afraid of crying in front of them and I don't think I could handle leaving them. I'd probably feel more lousy about my inability to care for them right now. I'm just hating my shortcomings right now. Thanks for letting me vent.

I'm so sorry you're going through this right now. I can't relate on a personal level, but I understand the pain and embarrassment of not being able to help like you want to. I'm sure your family is supportive of you and you taking this time to get yourself better is for the best so you can be the grandmother you want to be. Don't be hard on yourself. I hope you find relief soon. Please take care.

Many hugs to you. We all just do the best we can at the time. When you feel you can, try to visit. Maybe take out for an ice cream or something. Do you have a friend who could go along so you wouldn't be overwhelmed?
I hope you feel better soon.
