Stressful, last week of the first term of school this year and everything is due which I haven't started, but my mum has started working now so I have to help watch the kids (3 and 6 year old) who has ADD and the other with ADHD.

However, the strangest thing happened today. I received a letter in the mail from The Salvation Army about a family member trying to find me, I called and it appears my grandmother is trying to find me. This is a HUGE shock to me, I have no idea how I should be feeling, Good but also bad.

My dad who left when I was about 2 years old I have never seen again but my grandmother has contact with him still and I haven't seen her since I was about 7, so it's been 11 years since I've seen her. I get to meet her again next week.

Any support?

Watching kids is always stressful because their purpose in life is to stress you out lol ..just do your best and try not to let them trash the place

I have a big family but dont know most of them because they are all scattered around the country and havent seen most of them since I was little but it would be nice to meet them all at some point. I think your grandmother wanting to meet you is a good thing and it will probably be a bit emotional for the both of you but yes its a good thing and nans are awesome

I hope everything goes well for you cooll;

I understand that how you feel, life can sometimes go well or sometimes go really wrong. While I fully support you I think you should tell somebody in real life bout how you feel, for example your mum or best friend. I'm sure they would be glad to support you with their whole hearts.

Hey

I can sympathise with you, as most of my young early years were very stressfull, but as you get older you realise that the Growing up part is all just a big test for later and the rest of your life. I know things look difficult what with school and the family aspect but you will get through it and it will make you a better person in the long run, altho at the moment you wont see it that way.

My Real Dad was never there for us and i can only remember seeing him 2-3 times upto the age of 13/14 and then he was gone( well i never knew him so i cant really say how i feel about it) I made a hell of a lot of mistakes over the years that may have been contributed to having no Father Figure when i was young, But as i am now older i dont dwell on it or let it get me hatefull about the situation..

My point is that we are all dealt some very cruel blows throughout life and the most important thing is your Family, Its not your grandmothers fault for your Fathers acts, as most people are caught in the middle in breakups and take sides, thats just life.

Dont feel hurt/sad but think of this as a new chapter in your life and embrace it.

all the best

Thanks for all of your support guys and it is my Grandma's fault for not seeing my dad, she wouldn't let him see me, but either way he didn't want to.

I know how that is my step dad wouldn't let me see my biological father, and not only threatened to kick me out a couple times, but did when he saw me trying to contact him to understand my family heritage/line. I can't even confront him on it, as he's all defensive, we've gotten into fights over this so many times, but I ended up figuring out why he didn't want me to talk to him. My biological father means well, but he just makes dumb mistakes, and was to much of a p***y to stand up for his wife, and kids, and still is, but he never sent any cards, never called or anything as he's literally terrified of my step dad. (My dad also has another kid Chase, and from what his mother tells me, he doesn't talk or pay child support for him either)

However my family's really messed up. I have a cousin who's also my uncle. So I feel what you're going threw, although there's a whole lot of differences, but it's a good learning experience.
