I'm having an extremely difficult time lately. No, GFG is not involved. Just a whole bunch of stuff that doesn't relate to your lives...just mine. Maybe your support will help me sift thru the many problems that are surrounding me. I hope so...cause I am beyond stressed. Thanks DDD
DH & I have raised our 25 yr.old grandson. At 14 he turned to pot & booze to cope with problems. He's a GFG#1. In 2005 he fell off a balcony, had brain surgery and has TBI effects. His recovery is very stressful. Time will tell if he ends up GFG or PC. Our GFG#2 is 21 and now lives with his GFGmom. He's ADHD, AS, BP plus. DH and I have 6 children and 11 grands. Yikes!

LOL, I just saw that I typed a "z" in my title. Guess that indicates that I'm "off my feed". The problems are senior problems, small business problems etc. No reason to go into details but I'm feeling vulnerable and as you guys know that is not my usual state. DDD
