I just talked to my grandson, who my daughter has not said a kind word to, in over a year. He started to cry and told me what happened to him and his step brothers at home; the rages and mood swings, and how terrible it was living in that house. When my daughter would do wrong to my grandson, she would then later on make our son in law apologize as if he had done the wrong. She wouldn't work, but expected our grandson to work two part time jobs his senior year, and also take a college course. No wonder the poor kid left home. He will be 21 in November and is crying telling me this. I don't feel so bad at all now, that she won't talk to me. She really needs to seek help and we can't do it for her. We have been 30 some years picking up the pieces she leaves behind.
