Question: as grandparents we have have legal custody of 10 yr old girl since 10 mo now her mother has died i am lost? i watch granddaughter everywhere she goes am i too over protective. how do i back off a little and let her have fun. there are crazys out there. i won't let her go with her father or his family don't trust them

Answer: Her mother wasn't in a good situation or you would not have been raising her child.\n\nYou have to let the child be a child, she will learn from this experience as much as you have.  That there really are crazies out there to be aware of.\n\nGive her good judgement, good ethics, good advice, and a good example to follow, then let her take that and be who she will be with it.\n\nIt has to be hard knowing your daughter has passed away, and I am sorry for your loss, but please don't punish your granddaughter for your daughters mistakes.
