[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 669211, member: 17542"] Oh Tanya, your post was filled with such grace and love. The fact that you are still living with such uncertainty every day for so many years and still you can get outside yourself and think like this is surely grace personified. Remember when the birds and bees conversations first started, and we were all advised to simply answer the questions asked, not to feel like we had to give them the whole...entire...story? It seems like the same logic should apply here. Saying he just isn't ready to be a dad right now (who knows about the future?) is such a grace-filled way to say the truth but not too much of the truth. Since your granddaughter has a daddy in her life, plus so many other loving adults around her, I hope that will be enough. For now. The things we have to do and say when we live with and love a Difficult Child!!!! Unreal, really. I know you will do a fantastic and gentle job no matter what turns the conversation takes. Please let us know how it goes and what you learn from this. Hugs to you today. [/QUOTE]
