Today was a better day. I took my Grandson shopping and purchased new clothing and shoes for school. Tomorrow we will go shopping for school supplies. I made tacos for dinner. We haven’t heard from my Daughter’s ex. I wish he would seek help for his mental disorder. He and my Daughter have a appointment on Tuesday with their family counselor. Hopefully they can sort out some of the issues that are bothering him and can come to some resolution involving their son and co parenting. Mental illness is hard to deal with when the person who has it refuses to seek help for medications that could help them. His mood swings and depression affects my Grandson but he doesn’t seem to get it. It’s sad to see as it is pushing my Grandson further from his Dad. I just want to reassure my Grandson that none of this is his fault. He told my Grandson that he was going to move and take him (to another town, very far from my Daughter’s home), and without my Daughter’s knowledge. When my Grandson told his Mommy, he basically had a anxiety attack and freaked out, crying and hyperventilating. She calmed him down and learned of the story and assured him that he wasn’t going anywhere. It was painful to watch. I was upset and angry that he put his son through such pain. My Daughter is a good Mom and my Grandson is very close with her. They are each other’s life’s. My Daughter’s boyfriend is a good person and involves my Grandson in everything. My Grandson adores him. You would think that his Dad would be happy that there is someone else in his life who cares about him. This behavior is putting a wedge between him and I. I don’t like how he is treating my Daughter and Grandson. Plus he gets very angry and lashes out. I have tolerated and forgave this behavior over and over for my Grandson’s sake. He has been seeing my Grandson less and less but wants him to live with him? He is trying to hurt my Daughter but all of this is hurting his son. Very sad!! Well today was nice and calm here. I am hoping tomorrow is the same!
