Hi, my name is Debbie and I am a grandmother of 6 biological children and two biological great grandchilden. I also have 6 grandchildren through my marriage. All of which I’ve been a part of since their births. My husband and I have 6 kids between us and we’ve been married over 34 years, together over 36 years. We are in recovery for over 34 years, almost 35 for my husband very soon.
Through all these many years, we’ve been through many ups and downs and heartbreak and happiness. Pretty much like most people, doing life on life’s terms. I know that as a young grandmother, I sure could have used some advice and direction from women in recovery, but somehow, we’ve muddled through and still going strong.
So since I am talking about blended families, does anyone else have similar situations?
Hello Everyone, this blog should be ready to roll!
It’s looking good so far.
Thank-you my co-grandparentor, (is that a word?) lol
Hi Debbie, Congratulations on your new blog! This is very exciting!😊 I am a grandmother of three grandchildren and two Great grandchildren. Looking forward to Grandmas in Revovery!
Thank-you Karen, grandparenting is such a joy. However, there can be challenges as well, like when your own children are drinking or using. This has been an ongoing problem in our life, I know I’m not the only one, it can be a very heartbreaking also.
I hear you and I’m with you. Other side of the family. Same issues. Lots of love. From the other side of the Mississippi.
