[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 647217, member: 1550"] He has lovely manners. Got to just shake your head that your daughter hooked up with him and stays. Obviously, there are some reasons she cheated on him. Blah, if anyone said that to me, whoever it was, I would stay away from that person and only see the others when he wasn't around. And I'd probably feel some resentment toward my kid for not defending me and telling him not to dare talk to my mother that way, UNLESS you had told him something equally as horrible, which I'm sure you didn't. Time to move on until the probable divorce when your daughter will come slinking back to you with tears in her eyes, very sorry that she let him get away with how he treats you. Of course, there is that rare bird who is nice to his wife and kids, but horrible to in-laws. I have a cousin whose husband spit in her mother's face and they are still married today (has to be close to 30 years). Now her mother was no gem, but I can't imagine her doing anything so vile t hat she deserved THAT. Does anyone ever deserve that? Since I learned long ago to stay far from my DNA collection of eccentrics, I did not know my aunt or her daughter that well, so I just heard the story and don't know the particulars leading up to it. Still... Hey, we can't pick 'em for our grown kids and if we don't like them or they don't like us it DOES affect our closeness and we are powerless to change it. Sorry you have to go through that, but it is your daughter's choice too to stay with him. My son's choice to stay with his ex for so long was actually not that bad a thing for me. My son is difficult himself so our low contact years were tolerable. He has moved a few states away now and stuck there, because of his son, so I really don't know my grandson other than Skyping him, but that's ok. I have a granddaughter that rocks my world and other nice kids and life is what it is. You have to grow your own rose garden, know what I mean? Meanwhile, now my son calls me every single day and I believe him this time when he says that if he ever gets married again, the woman will have to respect his family. He's a bit of a slow learner in some areas. As rotten as he can be at times, he didn't like her family either and he never disrespected them or tried to deprive them of their grandson. Of course, she was the one calling all the shots, but he let her (shrug). Now he really wants me to keep visiting so I can get to know GS and I can't afford to keep traveling.
