[QUOTE="DazedandConfused, post: 419198, member: 831"] Would you adopt me as one of your Grands? :) I had a difficult child Dad and one of the most important relationships I had growing up was with my paternal grandparents. I rarely got one on one time with them, but the few times I did, I remember with striking detail. Cherished memories that buoyed me up during a tumultuous childhood with a father that cared little, if at all, for the needs of his children. My Mom did what she could, but she was 14 when they married and she was afraid of him. It's sad, heartbreaking, and overall frustrating, for you to have to analyze carefully everything you do for your difficult child grands in light of the issues with the difficult child parents. My Mom has to do this to a certain degree with my difficult children, especially Son, but neither of his parents are difficult children; the situation is not as nearly complicated. I'm sure a lot of other grandparents here can relate to your situation. [/QUOTE]
