[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 649299, member: 13542"] Sweetmama, this has to be tough on you, I'm sorry for that. Hugs for your probably confused heart. It's hard with babies. I know that first hand. On a positive note, there are at least 2 members here who have very good relationships with the mothers of their grand babies and with their grand babies and limited relationships with their own sons. One in particular has remained very connected to her sons ex girlfriend and the children and looks on those babies as blessings. So it can be done, it can happen. Why people hook up is the age old question isn't it? Whatever it is, the union has produced a child, your grandchild.... and you want to be a part of that child's life. There will likely be bumps and issues, you seem alert to that fact, you seem to know your boundaries well. So, step back and wait, wait and see how it unfolds. We don't know the future, we can't predict it, there are a thousand variables.........you seem to be clear on what you want, you want a relationship with this child......and you are aware of your sons behaviors....... When the time arrives it will likely be more clear for you at that point, and for them as well. Stay well supported, keep posting, keep your boundaries intact and remember to take good care of yourself......we're here......hang in there...... [/QUOTE]
