[QUOTE="klmno, post: 405397, member: 3699"] DDD, the issue with my extended family (mother and bro) isn't a situation where "they made mistakes and should be forgiven"- they are very screwed up people and those aren't just my words. They haven't changed. I realize I can't control my bro. I never was trying to. It was him trying to control me, then difficult child. Same with my mother. Yes, difficult child is approaching an age where he will be held legally accou ntable for his own actions. He isn't there yet. Nor is he of an age or maturity where he's not gullible as koi- he's gullible because he thinks he can handle anything and can't be hurt. jUST like you worry about your grandson and his mother's influence, can't you realize that this is my own son? Does it make any better if someone tells you to just let your grandson reap whatever happens from listening to his mother or are you and your husband always there to try to help him, in a constructive and responsible way? If you are doing that with your grandson, I would hope that you'd understand why I feel this way about my son. [/QUOTE]
