[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 289105, member: 1514"] Your son is well old enough to know appropriate touching. From anyone. I worked very hard my whole life to keep what happened between my mom and me separate from the relationship of grandmother and grandchildren. They saw her in a completely different way. I never told them different until after she passed actually. Now as far as the seeing the family in a different light, Jamie has had to deal with that himself. Jamie tended to see his upbringing with a pair of rose colored glasses. I dont know why he did this. I guess he was just a very happy kid. I think all the boys were but Jamie was especially happy. My father and step-mom said something maybe a year or so ago to him that kind of shattered his image of his upbringing. I cant even remember what it was. I think it was something about how they had sent us money every xmas so we could buy their toys and if it wasnt for them they wouldnt have had much under the tree. Which is quite true. They were very good to the boys growing up. But it shattered Jamies illusions of us as fairy tale, santa claus parents. And he was crushed and so ticked off at them. LOL. It wasnt that I ever kept this a secret, he just chose not to remember things. He was mad for a good long while. I had to intervene and tell him to hoover it up and quit sulking. [/QUOTE]
