In a Grandchild induced coma

[Claire Hallman]

Hopefully when she is through being pregnant she will see the light and realize she needs a baby sitter.

Allison, this is so sad, the situation with your daughter.

My daughter's stepson, who was a daddy at age 19 ( now 22), is undergoing a mental crisis, along with some substance abuse, and has totally turned on her, although she has put up with his irresponsible crap for the last 10 years, he thinks she is the devil incarnate. Threatens to never let her see her granddaughter ever again. No pregnancy pychosis here,but lots wrong in his little mind. It is so frustrating when the thinking is screwed up, and the wisdom figures(aka, you, Stewart and me) and my daughter Feel so helpless to straighten things out. I worry about the babies. Is this your first grandchild? That makes it extra hard to deal with. I have a colleague at work who has never seen her first grandchild, so sad, you can see the hurt in her eyes when she speaks about the child.

They(children with oddball behavior) are manupulative, thus your daughter is trying to get her sister to sever ties with you. When you get older and wiser, you learn to go with the flow, not try to run everyones life. But giving advice as a parent usually means that you are trying to head off disaster that they will be asking for your help with down the road--but they just won't listen.

Our pastor gave a good homily this morning, and the message was "just let it go, and put it in God's hands". Easier said than done, right?

You are so right Jean. My DD has learned some very hard lessons by not listening to her all knowing mom. She knows I am right, she just doesn't like to admit it. But no matter how angry she would ever get at me, she would never keep my grand children away from me. It would hurt them as much as me, and even she is not that selfish. Hopefully Alison, your daughter will see the light, and get her thinking straight.
