[QUOTE="klmno, post: 289083, member: 3699"] Oh, I agree that difficult child has bigger issues right now. But he has to know that there was abuse and inappropriate boundaries in the family at some point. My bro was getting inappropriate with my son, too, although I wouldn't go so far as to say he sexually abused him- I don't think it had reached that point yet. But things like this usually are not one time incidents in families but get passed from generation to generation and when difficult child grows up and has a child, he certainly needs to have already been made aware to look out for certain things before he takes the child around any extended family members. Everyone in court was in agreement over that. I'm a previous sufferer of PTSD and things just aren't over with the flip of a switch for some of us- especially when you have a family that brings up things that happened 30-40 years ago every time they get mad at me. LOL! If you can compare it to raising your difficult child- she is grown and on her own now, but can you forget all about it and just pretend that it never happened when you are dealing with her now? Don''t you still need to keep in mind what you know of her when you are weighing the effect on the young difficult child grandson? [/QUOTE]
