[QUOTE="Tiapet, post: 139002, member: 455"] [I][FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][COLOR=DarkRed]This is my opinion and I may NOT be in the majority with it. I agree with you in how you are going to feel and I also feel that this is one of those "exception to the rules" cases. If difficult child was really close to grandfather then he needs to attend. This is something that you can't redo later ( as in he can attend at another time in life). You only get one chance to say your good byes. I've known several people that did not get the chance to say their good byes and of them several that were difficult child's (one in particular that happen to be in a foster home and no one would help them get there - they were 18). It had an effect on them and others. I would bite the bullet and allow him, help him to go but keep it very minimal as to what you help with. Also, if in any way, any way at possible you could get his assistance to do something (anything) towards repayment in the form of working it off (as in loading the car, cleaning out the car, etc... because I know he is not doing what he should do to begin with) then pile on the burden of responsibilities of that travel/time period to do it. Just my $.02 for what it's worth.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/I] [/QUOTE]
