People talk about drama in life that happens all around us. Sometimes its family members who cause us drama, other times it is friends. Either way, we've all had it in our lives. I've definitely had my share!
In addition to all of the normal drama that goes on with Mom and her anxiety issues, health issues, and personality issues, I now have another dramatic concern: I am going to be a Great grandmother again!!
The dramatic part? She's 23 and hasn't quite matured into adulthood. She isn't married, and I'm not sure I like the baby daddy. A young couple with no car who move 4 times in 9 months just doesn't add up to a good life. Now a second baby??? Doesn't seem like good choices going on.
She is a bright girl, with a good future, if only she would embrace it. She was raised without her Dad in her life, and that probably influences her choice. But I'm more worried about the way this boy influences her. He doesn't let her have friends. When I visit, I'm not allowed to have a private conversation with her. He's very subtle about it, but intrusive.
I can't change things, but I started a letter campaign. I send her notes once a week, unsigned, with upbeat messages or quotes that I think might help guide her going forward.
All the drama we endure in life. Are things never simple?? Would we want it to be?
