[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 593020, member: 1514"] dstc....granted I dont know everything that has gone on in your family I am going to assume there has been some very difficult stuff for you to be feeling this way. I do think there must be at least some redeeming qualities if you have allowed them to take care of your oldest difficult child to live there or else that wouldnt have even been a thought in your mind. I can also understand parents who simply will not accept the boundaries that you have set up in your relationship. Im sure it makes you feel like a child who simply cannot do a thing right in the world. Of course while all this is going on you have a easy child who is missing out on a relationship with his grandparents and that relationship is fixing to become a whole lot harder for him to maintain. I really think if I were in your position I would set my feelings aside if I could and let your easy child see your parents. You dont have to be best buddies with your parents but allowing easy child to experience his grandparents while he can will be beneficial to him. At least I think so. My mother was crazy as a loon and I still made sure she had some relationship with my boys. She had hurt me very deeply but I couldnt let that effect my children. She is dead now and has been for 8 years and they now know a little bit about what I went through as a child but not all of it. I dont want to burden them. Now if this opinion isnt worth the time I worth to type it, feel free to toss it aside...lol [/QUOTE]
