Had an interesting conversation with a grandmother in McDonald’s today.
She’s helping raise her two granddaughters, and for the sake of their privacy, I won’t divulge more information. I will tell you that the mother is in rehab, her son is around, but apparently he needs help with two lively young children – understandably. Thank God he has a mother willing and able to help.
We got to talking about homeschooling. How it works, what it is and isn’t. Eventually landing on the topic of her grandchildren and their absent mother.
Unfortunately, I’ve heard her story before. Emotionally and physically absent mother due to drugs.
Heartbreaking.
For all involved.
Especially those children.
Mothers, there is probably nothing I could say that would motive you to give up your addiction. I mean, it’s a real problem. I feel for you. I don’t mean to stand in judgment, but still. . .
You are picking a drug/s over your child.
Heartbreaking.
