[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 300406, member: 1233"] Awe, MWM, what a mean and horrible thing to deprive a child of a good grandparent! I sort of know how you feel. Even now, years after the divorce, my ExSIL tries to keep me out of things with my parents. Like birthday gatherings, etc... Right after they got married exsil told me that within a year she would have me out of my parents life because she was the only daughter that they (my parents) needed or wanted. It felt like I was kicked by a mule!!She went on to do stuff that could be chalked up to 'miscommunication' and make me look hypersensitive. I cannot imagine my kids doing that to me. just cannot. Let son vent to a counsellor. If you can afford to help him pay for it that is good as long as daughter in law doesn't find out. He should also check with HR to see if they have an Employee Assistance Program (EAP). the EAP will usually pay for the first 3 sessions with a therapist. Employers are NOT told who uses the service or why anyone used it. I don't know what the family history is, but it almost sounds like drunken behavior. Or being on a really mean high. Maybe AlAnon would help him? Maybe he can tell her it is because he has a grandfather who was an alcoholic and he needs to do this so he can ensure that he won't start to develop alcoholism or tell her it is so you can check the facilities out because you are helping HR so employees can get a bus to lunchtime meetings. Or just find one with a lunch meeting. Let your son know you support him no matter what and you will enjoy talking to him about george, etc... but he needs to see a therapist and maybe AlAnon . Make sure that you are loving and positive for now. Then go find out what your rights are as a grandparent! I just googled grandparents rights wisconsin law and got this site: [URL]http://learningstore.uwex.edu/pdf/B3702.pdf[/URL] It is written in English as opposed to lawyerish. It has a lot of very clear info on the topic, but you also need to look into when it was written. I am so very sorry. I wish I could say I hope she straightened out because of all of this. But she won't. She will continue to push it until the child is 21. Be sure to check other sites on your rights. Kids need all the love they can get. If you just cannot stand it, maybe you could foster puppies one at a time? Lots of hugs my friend! [/QUOTE]
