I alwaysknew you carried a heavyweight - that is sad re your son but remember you still have him living which could be a heavier cross. Sadly that is way some families are. I know of one family (my friend) 4 girls and 2 boys and none of them speak - all young too ie 40-60. Good luck Bobbi whatever you do and I know it is all so personal to you.

Hya Conn, I don't feel sorry for myself at all because I know I did, and do my best, also there are a lot of folks who carry heavy burdens in their lives, I have said all I really am going to say on it now except that my door is always open to him, same as my heart, and so I get on with my life from day to day, as we all do .

I'm my nan and grandpa's (mums mum and dad) only proper, biological grandchild . . . .

[Bobbisox]

are you Molly, thats nice ;-0)

[mollykins]

They have loads of grandkids, but all the others are step-granchildren to them . . . .

[mollykins]

But they don't melt over me. Whenever we visit each other, my nan and mum jsut end up shouting at each other.

[Bobbisox]

now Molly we will not go there pet...lol

Funniest thing for me was at Christmas watching 'new mum' D in L fretting over the child and trying to distract him with expensive new toys. New Granny said 'Just give him here, and pass a bit of that cellophane wrapping'. Result! Child instantly settled at the reassuring calmness of granny and fascinated by the scrunching of the crackly paper.Peace reigned. There's a lot to be said for experience!
