[QUOTE="klmno, post: 368451, member: 3699"] LOL! That even messed with me!! difficult child is in detention so has no access to email. And I monitor their communication some when he can have it because I know she tends to tell him how much she'd love to see him and can't wait, but then always has an excuse of why she can't or it's not a good time. difficult child is not an idiot- not wise maybe but not an idiot. He doesn't know this part but really, her excuse this summer has been that she was trying to sell her house and no one could be there when the realtor came thru to show it to potential buyers. Even after I assured her that I understood (I've been thru that myself) and I would make sure difficult child, the dogs, and I left in ample time for a showing, she just said it wasn't a good time and she was happy to hear that I understood but she was already committed to having the house on the market by the end of May. FWIW, it isn't on the market yet. And it isn't just her fears about difficult child- he's been in detention since May so if I had come there for a few weeks this summer just to have a place to sleep while job hunting so I didn't have to pay for a hotel room, difficult child would not have been with me. And it still kills me that this is the same woman who will call saying she absolutely has to know what's going on with difficult child because she's in a panic over how much she loves him and will HAVE to make phone calls if I don't tell her and "I should remember, she has grandparent's rights". I tried to make it clear to her that grandparent's rights meant she had a right to communicate with him and visit him, not control my life or how I raised him and she is the one who said she couldn't make it for over a year to visit him so I am not quite sure what she thought she was owed or could accomplish.
