I empathise with your pain. I sounds as if your family has been strained by the emotional issues. However you can only affect change in yourself. The mental issues are not yours to carry. Get counseling for yourself on how to let go and let professionals take the lead. If you can't stand not understanding how to help. There are groups for families of those with mental illness. Talking to people in the same type of situation is enabling. Peace.

Thank you, sound advice. My family has been struggling with mental health issues for years, especially this granddaughter. I have always been there for anyone who needs me and have taken a large roll in helping to raise her kids, ( with her blessing )but on some issues she just doesn't stop and think what could happen in the future after making some of her decisions and I feel badly because her mistakes are at the kids expense. It's not their fault. But I have learned detachment and am willing to lend suggestions and if they are taken fine if not I have to step back, reluctantly but step back I will. Then I'll be there to help pick up the pieces like I have been doing. thanks again.
