[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 299171, member: 3907"] MWM, I'm so very sorry to hear this. I agree with whoever said that if your daughter in law has this attitude toward mental illness, then she would be much less likely to seek intervention for your grandson in the event that he does have any issues. Poor little one. Doesn't your daughter in law see that making things difficult for your son is bad for their child? This saddens me greatly. One thing I have been reading a lot about in my local papers is Parental Alienation. It's a legal concept that has been coming up more and more in family courts during divorce and custody battles. It refers to one parent taking actions to alienate the child from the other parent, and can include bad-mouthing, interfering with visits, trying to "brainwash" the child that the other parent doesn't love him, etc. etc. In some cases, parents who have been found guilty of parental alienation have lost custody of their children, because it is considered to be so very detrimental to the children's mental well being. I agree with the others' advice to at least speak to a lawyer to get input as to what you can and should do. Also, that you raise the issue of parental alienation in your conversation. If daughter in law is trying to alienate your son while they're married, I hate to think of what she might try if they split up. Hugs for your hurting mommy heart. I hate it when people put their emotions ahead of their children's well being. Trinity [/QUOTE]
