Quote From: penningtonMY HUSBAND & I ARE RAISING 1 OF OUR GRANDCHILDREN WE HAVE 5.
2 OF THEM HAVE PARENTS THAT ARE RAISING THEM . THE OTHER 2 HAVE PARENTS THAT ARE ON DRUGS & HAVE BEEN FOR THE PAST 7 YEARS. THEY HAVE NOW LOST THEIR CHILDREN TO DDS FOR THE 3rd TIME ( THEY WILL BE ADOPTED OUT THIS TIME)
EVERYONE SEEMS TO THINK MY HUSBAND & I SHOULD TAKE THEM. I CANT HANDLE ANYMORE CHILDREN. THE ONE WE HAVE IS 17 MO. OLD NOW .WE HAVE HAD HER SINCE SHE WAS 4 MO OLD & MY HUSBAND IS DISABLE & CAN HELP ME VERY LITTLE SO I KNOW I CANT TAKE ON 2 MORE CHILDREN TO RAISE. THERE AGES ARE 4 & 5 YRS. I LOVE THESE 2 GRANDCHILDREN AS MUCH AS I DO THE OTHER 3 SO DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT I SHOULD SAY TO PEOPLE WHO INSIST THAT WE TAKE THEM
Boy! Do I know what you are going thru. We are raising our 4 grandchildren . 3 girls and 1 boy. My husband is disabled to . But he has found a job at the school. So that helps alot. I am unable to work cause of abad hip and ankle. Also some other health problems to do with my heart. We have been doing this for 4 years now. It takes a lot of organization.( 2 of them are on meds for Asthma. And 1 is pron to anemia. Thank God the older one is the healthy one.) 2yrs.by ourselves and battling the grown children for support. Mother supports by staying out of the picture. Dad comes in just enough to confuse. Now he's woke up and seen just how precious his gifts are . We have been doing all this in a 8X30RV..
But we are hoping that dad will kick in all the way and get him and his kids their own place. My husband and I want nothing more than to be just visiting Grandparents . But for now we are their safty net. We are their safe place from a drug addict mom and a confused dad. So with God's help ,We will All Thrive. God Bless you Mightly. Hang in there .
