[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 713302, member: 19522"] Aloha Kalahou, Mahalo nui for your words of wisdom and experience. Hoku is here, and she is a tremendous help. The grands are understandably shell shocked and used to drama and arguments. They are 12, 11 and 9, and love each other, but tend to fight more than normal sibling rivalry. Trying to keep the peace is a full time occupation, reminding them that we discuss issues, no yelling or screaming. While they are seeking respite it is obvious that they are used to chaos. Keeping them busy is key. I, too feel badly for my mo'opuna. They have been through so much. They are sadly aware and have witnessed addiction and drug use and speak of their parents using their EBT to trade for money and feed their drug habit verses feeding the family. I don't know if and when their parents will realize the blessing they have with three healthy children! I will savor this time, prayer helps to calm me. One day at a time. Mahalo dear Tita. Mahalo nui Kalahou. It is in Akua's hands. We tread some difficult waters in our situations. Stay strong and Malama Pono to you, fellow Tutu warrior! (((Hugs))) Leafy [/QUOTE]
