[/FONT] [FONT=comic sans ms]A couple questions and an observation from me. Your grandson is 14. What is his diagnosis since you say his mother indicates he has a mental disorder?

As the [/FONT][/SIZE][FONT=comic sans ms][SIZE=3]in-laws, there is not much you can do if mom is heavy handed. You can be there to support and understand the young man, perhaps offer this website to mom, but there's not much else you can do other than speak to your son about stepping up and doing the right thing by his son.
