[Margaret Pilkington]

I agree with Katex here.......I have been involved with my daughters little boy since he was four months old...........I had him almost full time when my daughter was pregnant with her second child as she was severely incapacitated by a medical condition.....OK I haven't got to the emotional problems bit yet, as he is only two and a half.....but I think the experiences with your own childrens emotional ups and downs helps you to know that it will all turn out OK, and if they do need more help....then as long as they know they can get it and you can show you'll be there for them....that's all they need......and to be honest it IS all you can do.
Oh, and I never EVER call myself that horrible G word......I am Margaret!
