I Don't Know Where To Start - Background Is On Here Somewhere.
68 Answers
Life has burst apart, courtesy of Son-in-Law, who was discovered, in July, to be sleeping with Ladies of Easy Virtue. 2 children - boy (9) and girl (7). On its own this is bad enough - and some of you will have seen my earlier post about grandson being admitted to psychiatric unit after attacking his mum.
Going from bad to worse. Divorce now likely to be bitterly fought out in the courts and all my savings for my old age will have to go to pay for it. No-one could look after the kids on Friday - he was away, she had to work. I abandoned Mr J2 Thurs. and baby sat. Taught boy his 12x table and girl to sight read music (middle to upper C - she's very musical).
Sat. a.m. Daughter obsessively doing maths GCSE papers (needs to train as a teacher). Screams emanate from playroom where granddaughter was practising the tunes I'd taught. I went to find grandson kicking hells bells out of little girl (curled up defensively on the floor)and shouting 'I'll F...ing kill you'.
Needless to say, I took prompt action. He fled to his bedroom. I pinned him down in there - stripped his stickers from his door and left him there for a few hours for parents to deal with.
Daughter is seeking excuses (!) in that boy has been bullied at school. I'm treading a fine line here and frightened to death for my gentle, musical granddaughter. I don't expect anyone can solve this, but any comments will be helpful. Grandson is now thoroughly scared of me if that helps. It's horrible.

I don't particularly favour her, she has her faults, but he has always had bullying tendencies and is now, according to school, the class bully. Whose side would you be on? Horrible atmosphere in that parents are still living in the same house.
bedknobs - he had a lot of horribly violent cartoon figures on his bedroom door - I binned them.

Thanks again, bedknobs. The parents just aren't 'framing'. I've seen problems with this particular boy for years, from toddlerhood - there's just something about him. I corrected him about something (Werewolves don't really exist) and he screamed at me not to tell him he was wrong - spends all his time in fantasy-land. I can't back out and leave daughter to cope on her own - she isn't coping now.
You absolutely should NOT be bankrupting yourself to help your daughter get a divorce. There is plenty of help out there that she can make use of. She can start with Citizens Advice.
It's their marriage that has gone down the tubes...let them sort it. Help her in other ways, but don't mess up YOUR future.

Surely she has grounds for a quick divorce due to his sleeping with another woman/women.
My son is going through the same thing with my *** of a daughter in law. He found out she was sleeping around on drunken nights out without him. He left and is going to get divorced. I 5
thinkk it costs about £500.
Your daughter should get custody of the children, I would have thought.

I don’t know the background, Jourdain, but surely your son in law would have no grounds to fight for his marriage. He lost that right when he slept with Ladies of Easy Virtue.
I understand that there might be a fight over assets etc and maintenance of the children but surely an agreement can be reached without going to court.
