[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 592528, member: 1550"] He won't walk away. I said I would. I would not fight this battle, even for my child. I couldn't do it. First of all, it costs lots of money. He doesn't have endless money. She may. We snooped around and it seems her rich grandfather is no longer listed with the grandmother. That could mean that her mother got a windfall and is helping her out. 35's Dad plain and simple is not going to put out $50K for this. I think BOTH of them are unstable, but not enough to deny parental rights. Grandson is very attached. But it just shocks me more and more, what can and can't be used. 35 listens to nobody, but this is making him a total basketcase. There is actually a trial date set, in late November of this year. He will have to live with this over his head until then and he does not do well with this degree of stress. I have hinted to him that maybe he should let her have majority physical custody (in my heart I feel she'll get it anyway since she is the woman and he does have a mental health record). I told him that, in the e nd when J. is older, he will probably demand more time. After all, his mom ran off with this boyfriend whom he dislikes. Also, son can find someone else (he is trying) and maybe have a family with a nicer woman. Not that you want to give up on your child, but I don't see how he can win here. Her resources can far outstay his and his psychiatric records could be twisted badly. And to be 100% honest, I have no idea myself if my son abuses alcohol. If he does, he is a functional alcoholic, and since I don't drink I tend to think everyone is an alcoholic. And ex drinks too. 35 won't even let me mention other possibilities beyond fighting to the end. He really loves J. But I don't see any good coming of his continuing fight. If it goes on and on, he'll run out of money. I just think the cards are stacked against him. And, frankly, in a selfish way, I am weary of this fight. I'm tired of hearing his angst. Even three days off, which I give myself, tires me out. I really don't want to hear a play-by-play over a grandson I barely know, partly due to 35. If I was really, really close to Grandson, that would be one thing, but ex and 35 kept this child away from me. 35 did exactly what his ex wanted during their entire marriage and she didn't like me for an insane reason, which is a story I'll tell at a later date.
