Hi Ellen,
Firstly, congratulations on your new grandaughter. My children are teenagers but I remember when they were born, my parents were thrilled to bits and just doted on them. I remember them saying being grandparents was brilliant because they had all the fun but weren't as stressed out as new parents.
Just to let you know, I have passed your message on to Yo who I keep in touch with away from the forum. Like you, I am saddened that she decided to leave the forum for good this time and know that she won't be returning. Last time she left, she was taking a break but this time, she has deleted her membership completely such is the strength of her feelings about what happened last week. I probably won't be around much either as I too am infuriated at some, in my opinion, wrong decisions that have been made. I know I'm not the only one who has been left with a bad taste in their mouth following the whole business.
Hope you and your family are well.
Take care, Fi xxx
