"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."

There have been times where I have no seen him or my GKs in a year. I am also extremely happy that while my time with DS is limited, it is in chunks of time as opposed to a drop in here or there. I'm the g-ma that is there for special events, however rare by comparison, and to kids, that counts for something too.

The problem isn't going away today and many days I just have to be able to tolerate pain and live some quality of life along side of it. I try to just cherish the victories, and be a realist in knowing that I'm living in a world that more often than not isn't kind, isn't fair, isn't unselfish.
