Comments (4)Laura, They look great. You'll be picking ripe tomatoes before you know it. I hope y'all have fun at Sea World.

Comments (1)I can read the pain in your words. I'm not sure you're in a position, however, to do much, beyond just watching for any signs of physical or mental abuse in your great grandson which should be reported to Child Protective Services. If you can possibly swing it, invite your granddaughter and her son to live with you. If not, invite them to visit with you as frequently as possible, without your daughter and your son-in-law. Your little grandson will need respite from his step grandfather. Perhaps you could have a converstation with your granddaughter about your concerns, keeping the focus on a child's need to feel safe and nurtured in their environment.

Comments (4)Tell her you love her and that you can explain when shes ready. Be very patient with her, no force or pressure! She's in a tough spot with her Mom pressuring her. If you pressure, she wont have a no pressure place to go. Her friends may help her to understand who the manipulater is. Yet she will still want to support her mom. Yet she must learn to let her fight her own battles. Give her time to grow. And let her sort out her feelings, with out you in the conflict in her heart. Your e-mails witll keep her informed of the baby and your love. Tell her enough about the house to keep her cognitive awareness real. Thank God for e-mail....See Moreinappropriate games
Comments (4)I highly suspect that either your daughters girlfriend or her friend has been or is being molested. I say this because I was in that situation. I was molested by my grandfather and initiated inappropriate games with my best friend at a very young age. Young children do not usually do these things spontaneously, at least in the manner you have described. That said, I think this is an opportunity for you to teach your daughter some very important lessons, about the sanctity of her body, her feelings, and that she can come to you about any situation that makes her feel uncomfortable. Ditto what seekingpeace said, there is a ton of shame around this behavior, even if she didn't initiate it. You might mention to the other parents to make sure their daughter is "safe", try to figure out where this behavior is originating without confronting anyone....See More- 8 years ago
