[QUOTE="CrazyinVA, post: 649385, member: 1157"] I remember all too well my feelings when Youngest got pregnant - both times (sigh). A mixture of fear, sadness, anger, and anxiety. I felt a bit "ripped off" - I didn't get to experience the joy that I was "supposed" to feel when I heard I was going to be a grandmother. I didn't know how to feel - especially when baby shower time came around. I wanted to be supportive, and of course I knew I would love my grandchild, but I was really ticked off and NOT happy that she was pregnant. Celebrating it seemed hypocritical. Talk about conflicted feelings. I'd encourage you to just take this one day at a time and not let your mind wander too far ahead with the "what ifs." Decide what you're willing to do, and not willing to do, and stick to it as best you can. Grandkids do make it harder not to "cave in" -- it's much more complicated. Hugs. [/QUOTE]
