After my husband’s passing, life felt unbearable at 71, but my grandson Timmy gave me hope. However, my daughter-in-law suddenly cut me out of Timmy’s life. One day, after she slammed the door in my face, Timmy called out from his window and threw me a paper plane. Inside was a chilling message: “Grandma, please help me. I’m not safe. Don’t tell mom and dad.”
I visited Timmy that night, and he confided that his parents fought constantly, and a man came by every day. He was scared. Concerned, I contacted Billy, a retired cop, who uncovered that my son was involved in drugs and my daughter-in-law was connected to dangerous people.
With this information, I reached out to social services, and they removed Timmy from the home due to abuse and criminal activity. I was granted temporary custody, and sadly, both my son and daughter-in-law were imprisoned. Raising Timmy at my age is tough, but I am more than willing to give him a safe and loving home.
