Dave, I thought of these very points early on. I told my son exactly what you said and it being HIS responsibility to "mitigate" the damage. He doesn't see it that way any more than Christina sees it that way.

I'd like to think that my son is completely blinded by something to continue to allow this. He's seen the damage that my daughter has caused the whole family because SHE (and admits it, BTW) has an issue with ME. My two grandsons from my daughter were never the issue. From the very beginning to this very day, my daughter, as much as she hates me, will tell you that her sons could easily be BETTER TAKEN CARE OF by me than by her!

I hate to think of the life lessons she is teaching this child.

You are EXACTLY RIGHT again!! And I have to sit on the sidelines and be manipulated because I've been banned from being anywhere near Autumn. MY GOD!!! AND THAT LITTLE GIRL AND I HAVE SUCH A STRONG BOND!!!

I don't understand any of this! All I can do is sit back helplessly and let that idiot, snotty nosed DIL hurt my ENTIRE family!!
