Poor lady, I'm not sure what I would do Susan, although I think a meeting with the grandparents is in order and they all need to agree a way forward. It might be easier if they agree a plan together and stuck to it. Having pals like you must help too ... I hope she resolves the situation for his sake as well as hers.Re: what would you do - unacceptable behaviour

Very difficult. Our daughter has always been difficult and I've spent the last 16 years trying to compromise and mediating between her and my wife(her mother).
