Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. This is really great. You just got custody of your great granddaughter who is 4 and you are 68. I envy your luck. Handling 4 year old child is not easy, but I can assure you, the child could never have acquired any of the drug dependency syndrome behavior patterns she had seen. Because she is too young to even notice that. Just give her love, affection and security. Naturally, within a span of one or two months, she will be your child.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck. Take care.
