Hi. I haven't posed on here in awhile. Probably because I had been doing so much better now that I'm on the right medications. But my 9 year old granddaughter is moving away. It's not that is the distance is too far to go and see her, it's the hassle I'm going to have to go through to do it. Her mom is an alcoholic and almost has completely quit communicating with me at all because she is in her own little world. My granddaughter lives with her half of the time and the other half with my narcissistic son with whom I have no contact. He lives here by me and has her half the time, but I just learned that he will be moving as well to the same town her mother lives in. Now I have to battle with an Alcoholic and a Narcissist to try and visit my granddaughter. It's overwhelming for me right now and so I just stay in bed every day and do nothing but cry. I know that is the opposite of what I should be doing but it's taken over my mind right now so I'm back to being depressed all the time. Any suggestions as to how I can deal with this situation and my depression?

I'm sorry you are having such a tough time. I encourage you to allow yourself to grieve the transition and loss because it is a loss in a way. Please see a therapist if you need to. The therapist could also help you come up with strategies to facilitate seeing your granddaughter. I wish you the best.
