[QUOTE="HMBgal, post: 664511, member: 13260"] Another grandparent commiserating with your situation. I go to IEPs all the time in my job. I sure didn't expect to for my grandson. I look at my husband who is ten years older than me and I'm pretty sure that he didn't see the last part of his life being spent the way he is spending it. My daughter (his stepdaughter) and the mother of difficult grandson, still bears the marks of her ADD and crystal meth addiction. Although she's clean, working two jobs and generally doing well, the constant vigilance and worry about her fragility and spaciness is exhausting. I hope this will be true for you, but we have found ourselves kind of getting a routine down and the feelings of being completely overwhelmed have lessened a little bit (depending on the day). We do fight more because we are so flipping tired and worried, can't take vacations or even go out because we have babysitting duty, doctors visits, etc. In any case, your grandson is damn lucky to have you guys. Take care of yourselves. [/QUOTE]
