[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 677290, member: 18958"] Only wife can decide. Only she can come to see it is too much. Like other parents on the site, there are 3 generations involved. Wife wants to be a good mother and grandmother. If she can, she wants everybody to be okay, and to keep everybody close. The reality is that your wife may choose to sacrifice herself and in the end, lose anyway. Your daughter has parental rights, I assume. At any point daughter can take the baby and deny access. I would guess that is what your wife most fears. That a disgruntled daughter will decide to take her toys (baby) and leave. There is no win here for anybody. Until wife accepts what is at stake, nothing will change. You are in a no-win situation in that anything you do or say will be used against you. I feel for you. I feel for your wife. I feel for all of us. Including me. My health is what forced me to turn the corner. I was sick all the time when my son was nearby. When I have minimal contact, my symptoms recede. I have a chronic illness, too. Maybe when wife gets a diagnosis she will face her limitations, and choose differently. But nobody, most of all you, can make her change before she is ready. I wish it were different. I really, really do. I think ironbutterfly's idea about childcare a two or three days a week is great. Is wife open to posting? We would love to "meet her." I hate that the baby's daddy did that to you. There is another thread right now with similar threats. My own son has called the cops on us multiple times with the intention of getting us arrested. Great. COPA [/QUOTE]
