I have just been slapped in the face by a major family drama. It's one of those times when, in the past, I would have opened a bottle of wine and eaten myself stupid. What do I do now? Any advice would be appreciated.

Aussie, my heart goes out to you. Drugs devastate families. I am a child of a drug addict. I really wish there was an easier solution, but there isn't. Al I can say is that my family was my savior especially my grandparents. Just keep on calling the kids let them know how much you love them. Take them places that you know they would not otherwise get the opportunity to go to.

By the time I got to Hugh school I had enough of the bull so I went to go live with my grandmother. I never looked back after that. But since in your situation your grandbabies have siblings it may be harder for them to actually leave each other.

Just continue to be loving caring grandparent.
