Since you love your son and grandchildren, my advice to you is to tread lightly and be careful. The most important thing is that you have influence on those kids by getting to spend time with them. Be there for support. I’m sure your son knows how you feel about his toxic relationship. I’m sure he feels the same. It’ll play out however it will.

first of all, i am sorry for what you are going through. as most parents know, when our child is in an unsavory relationship we can't help but try and make things better, no matter how unwanted that help may be. but, i thoroughly agree that stepping aside and letting things be is the answer in order to keep any kind of relationship with our children/grandchildren intact.
thank you.
