Well it is all up to your son to get through to her. He seriously\nneeds to sit down and have long talk with her. He is the father \nof his child and has every right to take his child to visit  both \ngrandparent. It would be different if the grandparents were \ncontrolling, then yes she can have a say so. If she is a compulsive liar, then it hard to believe anything they say, as you \nalready know. They believe in their own lies. It hard to bring them back to reality. It's are up to your son to put his foot down as the\nother parent. They live together and there should not be a one \nparent rule. I'm a Mother and a Grandmother and I only have 2\ndaughters, but one of them is married and if he was a controlling\nyoung man, then I would have a say so. You as a grandparent \nhave every right to see your grandchild.  You say already you \nhave spoken to her already, well you need to keep at it. Maybe she'll give in. For what ever reason she has and as you said \nshe is jealous of you then keep asking the same question, WHY.\nThat is Good that you don't interfere in their lives or tell them what \nto do, and that is what you need to keep telling her. Sit down with\nboth of them and tell them you would be happy to spend quality \ntime with your grandchild in the week-ends. I sure do hope thing\nchange for the better. I told my daughter if my son-in-law was\nto ever keep my grandchildren away from me, then I would\nseriously take them to court for visitation rights. She told me, I\nhad nothing to worry about. Our relationship between my son-\nin-law and myself was rocky in the beginning. But after our \nbig argument, he had found out it was his own mother that was\ndoing are the lieing and turning  the story around. So now I'm\ncloser to them, then his own family is. I help them with the children to where his family doesn't help at all. So I wish you\nthe best of luck.

You're doing the right thing by not sharing too much info. It shouldn't be with just your grandaughter's mother that you are doing this with but with anybody. You've learned something....just when you think you can trust someone you find out they're not this trustworthy person that you thought they were. NEVER tell someone something that they can use as ammo against you.

If you have concerns, I wouldn't send the child. \n\nThere are ways that grandparents can legally obtain guardianship of grandchildren. They can file motions to protect, motions for emergency guardianship, etc, by claiming that you are an unfit parent. Then, while they would have the burden of proof, it would still be a lengthy and expensive proposition for you to contend with. Your attorney would have to be located in the same state that the petitions were filed.

This is lawyer time.  No excuses as to why it is too expensive. GET A LAWYER NOW.  No he does not have to give up his rights but he might want to come to an agreement that sets up specific visitation times.  The grandparents probably are doing this so they can make medical decisions in an emergency and not be tied up trying to find an absent parent.  He might offer a medical release form that lets them make decisions on that.\nHe could try for xmas and birthday visits or more if he is responsible enought to show up for more frequent visits.\nHe needs to make an effort to show his daughter he does care and that he is allowing the situation for her benefit.\n\nYou do not say if the father has a drug problem or of he is responsible enough to try and be a particapant in his daughters life.\nCounseling would be good too so he can get his head clear and learn to work with the grandparents who have been doing his job for so long.

NO, never allow your children to disrespect you, no matter how old they are....\n\nIt seems your daughter does not want to face the issues that are occurring with her son.  She should be grateful that someone else is trying to help her...  As much as it may hurt, because she is your daughter, you need to move on (for the time being)  believe me there will be a time that she is going to need your help....\n\nAs far as your grandson, there is not much you can do, his mother is the one who needs to deal with him. She needs to realize all the things that could happen to him and start taking charge..\n\nHowever, do not allow him (your grandson) to come into your home trying to take over or disrespect you...  If neither one can respect you as a mother or grandmother, don't allow them in your home, until they do so...  (IT IS CALLED TOUGH LOVE)  Sometimes it needs to be done...  \n\nI AM TALKING THROUGH EXPERIENCE.  I NEEDED TO DO THE SAME WITH MY DAUGHTER...\n\nAlso, pray and look to the one above.  He will help you along the way..\n\nGOOD LUCK AND GOD BLESS!

It would be very strange if I'd remarried or were in a new relationship. As grandparents, they have the right to see their grand children (in my opinion), but hanging out with them and calling them all the time would not be on the table.

If your husband was close to his Grandmother then you should be going to the funeral. You hav e someone to take over and a week to teach her stuff about the area. If he wasn't close to her, go on your trip.

Call Family Independent Living, It should be listed under Social Services or State Angencies or whatever this Administration is calling it. They can tell you if she qualifies for free counciling which i assume she would. Hang in there Grandma, she needs you more than ever now.

ask your mom and grandma when they had theirs for the 1st time. Around that age is your answer.

call a relative .. grandma is best and have them contact your mother to tell her that .. her daughter? .. needs her or whatever the situation is .. tell the relative to tell your mother .. if you cannot stay with him because of abuse or something you need to contact an authority .. tell a relative what's going on and that you need to get out of the house

If everything is in order between you and your mother, I see no reason why you couldn't venture off on your own!  Check the local laws and statues in your town.  Usually 18 is the adult age, but there are exceptions to the laws in some areas.  If you go live with a relative and you are "underage", then a guardianship contract would have to be amended by both partys, your parents and your live-in relatives or adult-head of house.  But I really don't think they will make a big thing out of just being one year away from adulthood for you, or anyone else, anywhere!  I say, just pack your bags, and with your mom's blessing, go off and find your destiny my child!  Have fun and stay out of trouble, ok?  LOL

Talk to her about her childhood and remind her of what it was like when all of you were together as a family.  I'm not suggesting this be done to dredge up bad memories, but to put it into her head why it was you divorced her father in the first place.  Maybe if you can get her to see that this is a problem that is life long with her father it will help her to regain some of her self esteem and realize the source this abuse is coming from.  \nAs far as your distance problem, threaten to exercise your rights as a grandmother and seek to have a protection order filed against him on behalf of the safety of your grandson.  Also talk with her about the possibility of relocating to another area.  Nursing jobs can be gotten virtually anywhere on the planet.  Good luck.

If your grandfather was remarried when he died, then his land and things belong to his new wife, that is if he didn't have a will.  She can decide what she wants to do with his stuff.  Why was it never attempted to try and discover if your mother was actually his daughter??  Sounds like they waited a little to late.

Depending on prior circumstances -- they have to give the parents ample time to get themselves back on track (counseling, parenting classes, anger management, etc.).   Maybe the parents will allow custody to be transferred if they really don't want to care for the child.  Either way the grandparents should gain as much info from the foster care agency on the processes they follow and give them their vitals in case the kids need anything.  See how things go and then seek legal counsel on custody if that is feasible.
