[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 452398"] Your post is heartbreaking. Situations with grandkids are terribly confusing. Others have mentioned and to a certain extent it reminds of my own situation, of good times with their grandparents. If nothing else, perhaps you can offer to babysit your grandchild for days at a time and those days with her will be very precious/meaningful for the child. You yourself will very likely need to detach as much as possible from all of this so that your heart doesn't break each and every time you see or associate with your daughter. You can't be held accountable for the decisions of an adult person who choses to act inapprpriately. If you are willing and able to help your grandchild now and again that is great. Know in your heart that your help might very well have a very positive impact on the child. Make friends with good people and spend as much time as you can with them. [/QUOTE]
