I have two children and then I have 5 grandchildren.
My daughter has two lovely sons
and then my son has my granddaughter who lives
with us
and he has two other children.
My son is now 40 and at the moment he is in
a prison,
he’s been in there for about 5 months.
He’s been into drugs since he was 15.
It’s pretty devastating.
Uhm it upsets me a lot.
So I protect his daughter and she’s beautiful
and I’ll keep her safe no matter what.
When she fainted a couple of times from not
eating properly
and her mother would roughly pick her up off
the ground
and shove her out the door to go to school.
My granddaughter said she’s going to hurt
me.
You make me go home she’s going to hurt
me.
She could not sleep and I’d had to sleep
with her
to get her to sleep and she was I could see
not eating properly
and she was losing weight, so she really really
suffered badly with a depression.
I was running a second hand clothing store
but I closed that down four years ago cause
it was just too many commitments.
for the future, of you know, making sure she’s
secure
and got an education you know her university
that’s where we might struggle.
Grandparents Camp YMCA, she was able to let
go my arm
and she had fun I had a relaxing time We did
some yoga
and knowing that other people are in the same
boat
and her seeing other kids in the same sort
of situation or similar.
And just seeing her have fun makes it so great.
