I want to be a happy peaceful (inner and outer) person again but i don't know how to do it :(

Is there any type of senior support group for a legitimately depressed senior who has all of her faculties but due to her evil son-in-law has been tossed aside and hasn't been able to see her grandchildren (4 boys ... the loves of her life) ... I can't seem to stop crying I am feeling alone and for the first time in my life I feel very very lonely ... as though I'm in this world all by myself and I want to get out of this feeling but don't know how to do it ... I admitted myself several months ago to a psychiatric hospital for 3 weeks because of my son-in-law telling me "you have to find other living arrangements" and I asked "do you wish for me to leave now?" and he said "no you have 30 days" ... and I was astounded because he and my daughter asked me to move in with them for financial purposes and TOLD me to leave all of my furniture in the apartment because there was no room for anything.

You have very legitimate reasons to be depressed. Your son in law does seem to be truly a horrendous person. I have never agreed with seeking help for depression when you have valid and legitimate reasons for feeling that way. That's reality. But surely there are senior citizen clubs and organizations where you live. Most times those organizations will have people you can talk to and who will try to find you the help you need. I'm also very fond of both Catholic Family Services and United Way. Both organizations can help you find resources and people who can help you.

Turn off the television and teach your children how to think.

I am so sorry. It would kill me not to be able to see my grandson, so I can only imagine how horrible you are feeling.

I know it won't replace your grandsons, but you might look into volunteering somewhere where you can work with babies and young children.

In my area, the local crisis nursery often needs volunteer grandparents who are available for cuddles or story time. You might also try local preschools, libraries, day care centers, children's hospitals and family homeless shelters.

Good luck to you.

Grandparents do have rights. I don't know what your financial situation is, but if you can hire a lawyer you might be able fight to see your grandchildren.

On the other hand be glad you are out of their house. Send birthday cards to the children, call them on their birthdays, and discover that your son in law is not the only awful person. Your daughter married him didn't she? She bares some responsibility here as well. My advice is to get a dog or cat. It always makes a person feel better to love something that will love them back unconditionally. Good luck to you.
