[QUOTE="PennyFromTheBlock, post: 681709, member: 18271"] Been there, going through it. Baby is 7 months old. I tried so so hard to maintain a relationship with the baby's mom- but given HER issues - if she can't be with my son, then to he11 will all of us too. /sigh. There's so much going on right now I don't even have it in me to type it. Do what you are comfortable doing. Maintain that contact. I used very encouraging words with the mom- as in "if you'd like me to keep him a while, I'd be happy to, I know it's so hard to take care of a newborn- you just get exhausted"- these types love it when you make it about THEM. I just wanted my grandson to have pockets of PEACE - which he has with me. You can private message me if you like- I've been right where you are not that long ago. :) Oh! forgot something else- PLEASE TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF! I wasn't- I was trying to take care of everyone else- and just in the last month went to the Dr- me, who never really had any medical issues now has high blood pressure (with medications), high cholesterol (with medications), borderline diabetic (with medications)......I need to be healthy because I do not know what the future holds- and neither do you. Start thinking now about what your plan is if down the line CPS is ever involved and they come to you. I thought about that long before baby was born and know my own steps and what the process is if it happens. I've even made a report to CPS (nothing came of it, and I'm ok with that right now- there's a record in the system)...... [/QUOTE]
