[QUOTE="Deni D, post: 755939, member: 22840"] Skittles, after reading the boyfriend's text to you I'm angry for you, not that anger ever does any good. I agree with the others and would like to add I think your son's ex-wife's opinion has been expressed to you via her idiot boyfriend, as incoherent as he is. The belief that you "need to step up and be a grandmother" by taking any and all responsibility for your grandchildren off of her's (and by proxy his) hands is ludicrous. She had those children, you didn't. They are your son's and her responsibility, not yours. I'm sure the boyfriend would like you to continue to be responsible for them and for his future child(ren) too. You could ,if you had the notion, along with unlimited resources and time, but I don't know anyone who would or could. The disrespect from them resounds in the treatment you have received from them. I think you have been the proverbial frog in the boiling water with this situation. Good thing you are neither a frog nor in actual boiling water. I think you are correct in assuming the children will be taken away from her in the future at some point. I don't know if not finding a home of her own will do it, CAS (Canada) may help her in an emergency situation, not sure. But at some point in those children's young lives it will happen. She is not capable. If it's anything like the US, when she is removed as a parent, you as a stable grandparent will not be removed from their lives. The foster/adopting parents will be strongly, probably only accepted, if the foster/adopting parents encourage a continued relationship with stable family members in the childrens lives. This is great! I wasn't sure if your son was in their lives or not. [/QUOTE]
