Anyway, the thing to try and remember (it's much easier when it's you and not your kid though, in fact it may be null and void when it's your kid) is that you learn something from them. Good luck again.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00691293013547048119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6810714864765099820.post-45841978871278858562010-09-26T11:25:18.920-04:002010-09-26T11:25:18.920-04:00I may not have the order exact on the books of Gre...I may not have the order exact on the books of Greg...Gailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04219479223227928561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6810714864765099820.post-59335729152098174032010-09-26T01:00:14.184-04:002010-09-26T01:00:14.184-04:00you may be thinking about who will replace your so...you may be thinking about who will replace your son in your father-in-law's life....don't even consider it. resist the urgesue bnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6810714864765099820.post-64809713881089253332010-09-25T07:55:01.495-04:002010-09-25T07:55:01.495-04:00Rudee, I really feel sorry for your son.

Maybe have son lie to him and say he's staying and the bad man may lighten up. <br /><br />A lie is okay if it serves a good purpose!Gailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04219479223227928561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6810714864765099820.post-64295116739577535532010-09-24T17:09:02.144-04:002010-09-24T17:09:02.144-04:00oh buggers on mean old men!

On a good note, you should be proud of your son for helping his grandfather in the face of this obnoxicity.

It isn't going to make any difference - he already hates everyone and everything - so what a few well strung together biting remarks going to do but make you feel better? My mother once told me that "the mean ones live forever" and she has been right a lot of the time about this - your MTLT is the shining proof of it, unfortunately and your son is at his mercy. Can I just ask where your husband is in all of this? Why doesn't he step in and set his father straight? Or barring that at least get him to back off a bit. No one deserves the abuse this man obviously relishes giving out. As entertaining as it can be [to us, your blog readers, no offense - I think you know what I mean] it is just not a way to live life.<br /><br />Okay - there I told you something you already know. ::Bad Skippy:: - I just feel for you - and wish that he would just shut the h*ll up.SkippyMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09479661523059481730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6810714864765099820.post-49335191680393425272010-09-24T13:21:08.420-04:002010-09-24T13:21:08.420-04:00I think you should definitely let it rip where MLT...I think you should definitely let it rip where MLTL is concerned. It may not make a difference...but if I were you I would feel a whole lot better. Hang on to the thought that your son will graduate in 3 months and he will be starting a new life in DC.
