My grandson had been abused by my husband for a while. I found out and talked to him, letting him know that’s not the way to raise kids. So we agreed on what we would do for diciplinary issues, etc.
Now my gandson is in the hospital because he tried to commit SUICIDE. Yes, SUICIDE. Thank god his sister found him and called 911. I’m wondering how the hell did it get to this point when I read his journal and realized that the abuse had been a lot more then he let on.
His grandfather had been MOLESTING him ever since he got out of prison. Often he would flat out hit him for no reason. I learned that he was a lot more depressed, too, and hadn’t been eating properly. My husband is now sitting in jail, but how can I help my grandson?
