[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 308715, member: 1550"] Thanks for the feedback. daughter in law acted mean and nasty to our entire family before this marriage problems happened. It was because of an incident where I asked my daughter, who was babysitting for George at the time, if she'd see if George made eye contact with her because he didn't with me. My daughter, thinking it was funny that I was being a worrywort, told daughter in law I'd said that. Immediately daughter in law flew into a rage that I'd mentioned that to my daughter, although that was ALL I said and I hadn't even said it to her. She called me up yelling at me nonstop for about thirty minutes, saying "I just knew you'd be looking for something!" She doesn't believe in things like autism and thinks my Aspie son is normal. SHe also doesn't think her mother, who has a breathalyzer in her car, is an alcoholic. She was ok to me before this incident. After that she has gone out of her way to be rude, even though I apologized. And you know what? I'm not sure what I apologized for. I guess I hoped it would help the incident blow over, but it never did. by the way, grandson is now sixteen months and not speaking yet. He has no words at all. Says "dadada" but doesn't associate that with his father. He's way behind in language. He was assessed and she was told he needed speech therapy, but she won't take him. In fact, my son said she wept a river when she heard the assessment, but decided, "He'll get over it." Son, of course, bowed to her. Of course, I'm not going to ever EVER bring up anything again to anyone. My poor daughter. She never dreamed daughter in law would call me up and yell. As for son, he doesn't badmouth anyone, not even her. He's more of a doormat, like me, at least to his wife now that she is threatening to leave him (he can be very controlling, but now he's terrified she'll leave him so he is doing anything she wants him to do). He, however, did tell daughter in law it was ok to call me and yell at me that one day. As for daughter and cooking, she isn't close to my son at all. She does want to please her father. The reason she doesn't want to cook at her father's place is because my ex can be a little strange...he wants her to do all the cooking at her house and then transport the food to his house. He doesn't want her to cook there. I know, it makes no sense at all. Naturally daughter doesn't want to cook all day and then have to load the car with tons of food. What daughter decides to do will have nothing to do with son's wishes. So that's one good thing. You are 100% right, flutter. I have to stop letting son/daughter in law hurt me. I am very sensitive and love my grandson to pieces and it hurts me that I can't really be a grandma to him. But I have to accept it and move on, and I am very grateful for your kind post. I appreciate bluntness. [/QUOTE]
