[QUOTE="ChickPea, post: 750807, member: 24089"] Custody status is my daughter has 100% and we are co-guardians. It is very difficult to gain legal rights if you are not the biological parent in our state, but we are in the process of retaining legal counsel to see if there is any hope. Maybe I fear what will happen or escalate if we set more solid boundaries, and what that will push her to do... if our grandchild will be terrorized in the process. That might be part of it. I [I]know [/I]that is something that needs to happen, even if it feels unnatural. Easy to see as a no-brainer, harder to apply to real life. It was her decision to have baby live with us for his best interests and for his safety from their toxic relationship. Literally one of the BEST decisions she has ever made. We all know that he's better off here right now, but my daughter can't remember that he's better off without seeing her sometimes. I think that's been the most difficult boundary to place. I think only a custody placement would change it right now. And I think you're correct about the mother respect. It's hard for her to see him prefer me for comfort. [/QUOTE]
