[QUOTE="klmno, post: 331057, member: 3699"] I don't have a good understanding of your difficult child's history or exactly what you have been thru with her or her son and I think maybe I automatically relate to certain things you say about her that I've heard from my family. But my mother doesn't remember how old difficult child is, what day his b-day is, never asked about what was going on in his daily life, much less help raise him so I really resent her resenting him being my child and stirring up problems when she doesn't get her way- he is my child. That being said, I do get the point that this is not the same as your family situation and you have honestly tried to help your grandson. So I want to offer support and let you know that I can see why you would be frustrated in this situation, too. Maybe even though this seems like a setback from your perspective and it is a setback as far as finances and education/vocation, maybe a little time for him to work out other things for himself will lead to more maturity in other ways. I don't know- I'm just trying to think positive about it. I honestly am sorry that you have to see another opportunity for him pass by. [/QUOTE]
