[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 664291, member: 1550"] Right off the bat, I would say KEEP MOTHER OUT OF IT. She is not the parent, even if she helped you. That does entitle her to make important decisions regarding her grandson. Legally, she has no rights to him. You are a lady and can make decisions on your own. Having two grown women bickering over the best treatment is just asking for lots of conflict and trouble and you and your son don't need that. I would try to distance myself from Mom. Eventually, if you don't intercede she will probably figure out herself wat he is like. Until then do only what YOU feel is best. If she decides to enable him, you can't stop her,but you don't have to talk to her about it and you don't have to advise her w hen she has problems with him, and she will. Be very mindful that you are not seventeen years old anymore and that your mother should not be trying to micro-manage your own child's treatment. It is wrong of her and if I were you I would not engage with her when she tries to talk about what to do with your son. The choice is yours, the mature woman, who is at least in her 30s and can do this on her own or with a cooperative stepfather. Hugs for your hurting heart. [/QUOTE]
