[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 757898, member: 18958"] I would speak from my heart. I think what you've written is heartfelt. Sometimes [I]I love you and I don't know what to do are[/I] the truest things to say. The reality is your granddaughter has put you into a box. You can't control how she understands what her situation is, but you can explain yours. You can't control how she reacts, responds or acts, but you can choose your own actions and words based upon integrity and love. If you can I would stay in the moment and not have a plan except to love her, listen to her, be there for her, while keeping your expectations minimal and your boundaries firm. There is no "punishment" you can do that will have a positive effect. I think what would help is to try to work with yourself, which would be to accept that she loves you and not look for reassurance from her that she is unable or unwilling to give. I [/QUOTE]
