[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 651116, member: 17461"] I'm sorry. I wish you could see Junior too (and Bart) for their sakes as much as your own. But issues with custody or glasses or anything else do not make it okay for Bart to revert to old patterns. Skype is great. Sending little things in the mail for your grandson is a really good thing to do. It doesn't matter so much that we don't have the relationship we might like with our grands. What matters is that they know there is someone, out there in the world, who loves them. That can make all the difference. My grandmother loved me wholeheartedly. That made all the difference, for me. She was very far away. She sent things in the mail sometimes, and she always loved us when she could. That is what matters, MWM. Not whether you go to Bart's. That is for you. This is about Junior, and his sure belief that there is someone in the world who loves him for himself. Custody battles are about ego. The child suffers, every time. Grandmothers are safe people, loving people, people who want no more than to love you and see you grow. Could Bart be testing the waters to see how you will react to a little escalation, to a little return to old ways on his part? Or maybe, he is telling you in advance that this is how he is going to behave if you do visit? Cedar [/QUOTE]
