Hi Libby

I just read your story- I am new to this blog but felt very moved by what you had to say. First of all I think you are doing so well in caring for your grand daughter- I have two grandsons of my own and know how precious they are. However, I also sense how lonely for you it must be and I would like to ask what levels of support you are getting for yourself?
My story is slightly different from yours and I want to avoid getting into that too much, but just let me say that cannabis has taken my son away from me. He no longer wants to be in touch with me and yesterday I went to his grandad’s funeral and he wasn’t there. When people asked me why I said I didn’t know- which was the truth, but his dad said that he knew he wouldn’t be there. In some ways I was glad he didn’t turn up, but he is becoming more and more isolated from family and friends and I know he is very depressed. Like you, I want (have?) to help him but I don’t know how.
This is just a little snippet.
I want you to know that you are not on your own- if you want to let me know how you are I’d be happy to listen. Take care x
