When I lost my grandparents decades ago I felt like I was losing my mother and father twice. I was raised by my grandparents until I was like seven. My grandma on my father’s side was very fond of me, and her death hurt the most.

In a lot of ways my grandmother helped raise me too.
I mean my Mother was always there for me but my grandmother was also a big part of my life.

My grandmother and grandfather were horrible people. They treated my mom badly and really screwed her up. We cut all ties when I was in 9th grade. When I was 21 my grandfather got nostalgic or something and got in touch with my mom and asked about me and my two sisters. When my mom told him I was hospitalized with schizophrenia he didn’t want to see me. He said, “Well, two out of three isn’t bad”, meaning my two sisters were normal and successful. He wanted to see my sisters but they both refused to see him.
I saw my grandmother one last time when I was 24 and me and mom drove 400 miles to L.A. We went to her house, I hate to say it but she had mental problems and was kind of scary. We spent the night and left the next day, never saw her again.

Did you stay with friends? Were you on the streets? What happened? How did you take care of yourself?

My parents worked all the time and I was practically raised by my maternal grandmother.
Loved her to bits. She was a very caring person.

My sister was raised by my maternal grandparents and I envy her very much, because I was raised by my parents who both were cruel to children while my grandparents were very kind and caring to children.
