[QUOTE="nlj, post: 648922, member: 17650"] How old is the baby? Does she have post-natal depression? I recognise that feeling of heart-sink when you hear their voice and have to brace yourself for all the stress and drama that you know will come next. Do you have a good relationship with your grandchild's father? I wonder how he is coping with this. Set some clear boundaries for yourself. Maybe make a list of what you are and aren't prepared to do in order to support her. Maybe her boyfriend needs some support too. I hope he has someone, a parent or someone else, who can support him. My husband was left with a baby as his ex-wife was a depressive alcoholic who could not cope with a baby. He did a great job, but it was very hard. Look after yourself. Keep posting. [/QUOTE]
