[QUOTE="AppleCori, post: 679080, member: 16024"] Of course he wants his mom, ST. All kids do. Even abused kids want to be with their parents. They also want the abuse to stop, and for the parents to start acting like adults. Your grandson wants his mom, but he also wants and needs the fighting and arguing to stop and for his parents to provide a safe and happy home, whether together or apart. This is probably not going to happen without intervention. ST, you are not pathetic or weak. I am shocked that someone would say this to their mother. This is abuse. You don't have to put up with it. Many of us (probably most) have had to deal with an abusive adult child. Many of us have had to institute boundaries. We have to hang up or leave when our adult Difficult Child gets abusive. In fact, you are strong enough not to let her move in with you, ST. I have to say, gently, ST, that your daughter is the last person who should be telling someone else that they are not handling their business. Is your grandson back with his mother? Start thinking about what you will say/do next time you get a call from Difficult Child. If you have your responses pre-thought-out, it will be easier. [/QUOTE]
