As I may have posted in the past, I have a 27 year old daughter who suffers with a debilitating case of Schizophrenia. She needs nearly constant supervision, and has trouble taking care of herself. She is 8 months pregnant, and the father of the baby is also very ill. She has been hospitalized for a number of months so that she and the baby will remain safe.
My daughter's biological mother left us years ago, and has resurfaced for a matter of days here & there. She is at best, unstable and after years of resentment, I've somewhat come to terms that she probably can't help what she did to the kids by choosing to be out of their lives for so long. My 2nd wife of 20 years, Carla, raised my children as her own.
Today my wife & I came to terms with the fact that we the grandparents are going to raise my daughter's son. My daughter has named him Gus, which I think is a great name for a boy. Somewhere around March 17th we are going to welcome a new baby into the house.
If any have advice on grandparents raising children, I'm all ears.
