"Welcome to WiseWomenUnite.com -- When adult children marry and leave home, life can sometimes get more complex instead of simpler.  Being a mother-in-law or daughter-in-law can be tough.  How do we extend love and support to our mothers-in-law, adult children, daughters-in-law, sons-in-law, and grandchildren without interfering?  What do we do when there are communication problems?  How can we ask for help when we need it without being a burden?  And how do our family members feel about these issues?  We invite you to join our free forum, read some posts... and when you're ready...share your challenges and wisdom."

Invisible I too am sorry for your sadness. I can relate since I do not get to see several of my grandchildren either, and some of them also live in a very questionable environment filled with prescription drug abuse and illegal activities relating to that. However, that being said, I still feel sad at times about the situation, but most of the time I still find joy in other areas of my life. I do understand the pain involved in your situation trust me, but I refuse to let the situation beat me! I find joy in hobbies, my great friends, the job I love, and just the simple things like a day of lovely weather, or a clean house for a day, or a good movie or book, or even some great music. I do hope you find some joy again even though you have suffered losses. I too lost a son as a child, and it was painful. I still 33 years later remember his birthdays and the anniversary of his death. But I had to go on with my life. And I am so glad I did. I am sure your son would wish you to find joy again too. I'll keep you in my thoughts.
