[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 539111, member: 805"] [FONT='comic sans ms'][SIZE=3]MWM, The only real experience I have with mental illness is the bout difficult child had with depression when he was 8 and 9. I do know that, at that young age, I was there every minute as his "soft place to land" and it was all encompassing. Since the other two at home are old enough, is there any way you could go for a "visit" for a few days or a week? It would give you time with your grandson and time to access the situation better. I don't know, I kinda think that a mom's job is never really done and maybe he would really benefit from your physical presence. Again, I don't deal with mental illness so my suggestion may be way off. Regardless, I'm sorry that your son and grandson are going through this difficult transition. It's tough enough to be the one "dumped" in a marriage; dealing with mental illness as well definitely can make it a dark place. I hope they are able to make sure your grandson's needs are met during this time. I'm sorry that you are so drawn in and it is making your life so full of stress and anxiety.
