(((Lizzy))) I am so sorry to hear about your huge stressors with your daughter. It does sound like your daughter has relapsed, whether it is ***** or alcohol. You are so right that your daughter is responsible for her own recovery. It’s like the grief journey. People have to travel it alone, with the support of others. Nobody can grieve for us, just like nobody can work our recovery for us. Your daughter knows where to access the resources she ***** to live clean. As a mother it has to be so worrisome. Your grandson should not be witness to verbal and emotional abuse directed towards you, as children live what they learn. One thought that does come to mind is that your daughter ***** you to look after your grandson, so the chances of her stopping you from seeing your grandson pretty much don’t exist. Your grandson’s Dad seems to be an A1 guy, and like he said, he would make sure you had your grandson. Even your grandson who is way beyond his years in his ability to understand and communicate would badger his mother about going to see you. Danny is going to be home for 3 weeks at the beginning of August. I will find out the dates and if you want to visit at that time, we can stay at my place in Edmonton. Sounds like you need a break from that heat as well. I will have an air conditioner by then as well. You know that you can invite yourself to my place ANYTIME. And I know that I can visit you ANYTIME. I guess I’ll have to clean my car if you’re coming. LOL! Carole
