Re: April Acceptance
Another thought on families. I'm sorry about the grandson's birthday party. Obviously she has an imbalance somewhere.
Families can always surprise us no matter how well we think we know them. I am one of 4 and when my mother died 25 years ago, my older brother was drunk on the day of my arrival and became a nightmare. When we got to the car to spend the night at his house he snatched the keys from his wife and took us on a ide from hell. I was in the backseat with my niece and begged him to let me out. Nope. When we arrived at his house he took my luggage and threw it across the road.
My father was so grief stricken my bother tried to take advantage of that and sneak something out of the apt. each time. He also paid the semi annual taxes on my parent's cottage and then tried to claim it as his. Every story my sister told me made me more incredulous, until I realized other families encounter the same behaviour. We haven't spoken since. I don't know if I told this story but my aunt and her husband attended my grandmother's funeral and as they were running/walking to the train to return home, he collapsed and died. His suitcases were filled with silver, etc. from my grandmother's house and each weighed a ton.
As painful as it is Lav, we have these uninvited burdens regarding access to our grandchildren, whom we only want to love and spend time with. I think your son does what he can. I can only assume DIL has control issues like DD.
Fish, spinach and little potatoes for dinner.
