[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 368710, member: 1991"] I'm still rushing. Sorry. But you are on my mind. Sorry about the positive cancer diagnosis, but you are strong and as you said, at least now you know. I can say I do know how it feels, to get such shattering news. I took my dressings off last night, no more wet dressings. Skin healing well at last, after radiation treatment. As for your issues with difficult child - you are aware of your father's temper issues. He should not be left alone with difficult child. By "alone" I include "with just grandma for support". They don't understand and Grandma is an enabler, she has had to become one in order to survive. So don't blame her, but when grandpa is around, don't trust grandma to be honest, either. You do need to maintain your contact with them both, however. But keep your visits short, and frequent. it will help, trust me. I speak form experience. Esther, I hear you on not relying on grandparents who have paid their dues in parenthood, but I get the vibe that these people are nagging to be allowed to babysit. My in-laws were the same - and too often, it backfired badly. We learnt to smile and say, "Thank you; we've got it under control." Gotta run again. Nag me if you haven't heard from me for a while.
