[QUOTE="Albatross, post: 675752, member: 17720"] HI NC Momma. Only you know what the right decision is. It sounds to me like your youngest would be hurt more by an estrangement, even a temporary one, than by just taking a step back emotionally. It sounds to me like everyone feels like their boundaries and their roles are not being respected. It was such a nice thing for you to do, NC Momma, taking everyone to a national park in the RV to build some memories. I hope you all had a wonderful time, though I'm sure that with everyone in close proximity it was probably difficult not to get under each other's skin a bit. And I agree with Tanya and SWOT; although you have the responsibility for the health of your youngest, your daughter has the responsibility for the health of her own children, and I think her interpreting your request as criticism in an already tense situation blew everything out of proportion. I am glad your son-in-law called to apologize. The whole scenario sounds so horribly disappointing. If it were me, I would try to do something a little less dramatic than a separation. But it is not me, so you must do whatever you feel is best for you and your family. [/QUOTE]
