[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 677242, member: 18958"] Yes. This is true. It is entirely the decision of Tish and her husband if they want to end their arrangement because of this interaction. But I think they are in it to support their son as well as their grandson. If son has been batting 80 percent, given the stakes, I can understand if they want to take the position of hope. It is inexcusable to not admit responsibility. It is inexcusable to neglect a child. It is inexcusable to threaten parents, especially the way he did it. Nobody is saying differently. It is a question of where to draw a line in the stand and who draws it. Tish or CPS. Tish has told her son she will protect her grandson. She can decide that the jig is up now, or down the road, or not at all. It is her choice. Everybody has a lot to lose (and gain here), Tish as well as son and grandson. Yes all of it is intolerable. But other things may be more intolerable. That does not mean Tish will allow her grandson to be neglected. That is why the son exploded. He knows. That is why he got so upset and said things he should not have. He is human, too. That is not to forgive him. Or to not hold him accountable. It could be that Son cannot, will not do it, will not pull it together enough to parent his child. Time will tell. But the relationship and destiny of 3 generations in a family are at stake. I can understand if Tish and her husband decide to play this out. CPS will decide and it will be based upon what son shows in the long run what he is and is not capable of. Not all parents are born whole. Son is trying. Not hard enough, that is clearly true. There is still time, if Tish and her husband decide that is what they want. That is what I think. Tish has time. So does son, if Tish and husband choose so. COPA [/QUOTE]
