[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 299638, member: 1550"] Thanks for the empathy, Janet. Even if M. hits her head on, she'll say it's not true. The only way she'll believe it, and I hope it doesn't happen, is if J. does have problems and professionals tell it to her straight. We'll have to see what happens. I"m going to suggest to son that she will NOT change toward him until HE changes and I'm telling him to say, "Honey, I'm taking J. to the park." And when she freaks out, he firmly say, "I want to take him to the park" without arguing. I don't know if he'll do it, but, as it is now, she keeps my grandson to herself and my son barely has time to be with his own child. She will HAVE to change her behavior if he changes his. Other than that, she won't. We'll see how it goes and if he listens or even if he CAN listen. Like I said, he is very much not a fighter. And he's too old for me to fight for him. I have no interest in alienating anybody and I won't. But my heart is with my son (and my grandson). [/QUOTE]
