Good luck, Chris! the article about the "breaking the silence" documentary shows that no one can agree. I don't doubt for a minute, that there are abusive ...
Here in Los Angeles parents who are going through custody disputes to go through a class that teaches conflict resolution. I think that is a great idea, but,...

here is a huge hug for you, and for your wife. She too deserves one, as does my own husband, who watches helplessly as we are ripped to pieces. I am fully...
I agree completely. I am in a similar situation in which the ex-wife is trying to manipulate the system by accusing me of abusing my fiance's son. It is...
It just amazes me that when I hear the horror stories of how the CPS and Courts go so far overboard "protecting" some children that in my case they have...
I understand what you both are going thu. I told my husband I was ready for a divorce, not because of ex, but because of his financial irresponsibility. Who...
Afternoon, Just wanted to keep you informed about what is going on at NCSingleParent.com. This interview has been downloaded over 400 times so far. Montie...
I sympathize with your situation. I think a national coalition ought to be started for grandparents rights. The situation should not even be an issue. I don't...
Felt as if this is something that you all could understand the extremes of mixed feelings. I had a phone message the other day, from my son in law's mother....
I think that all grandparents should know their grandchildren, provided (just like parents) that they are sane, safe and loving. What I don't believe is...
Hi I have been remarried 5 years and you think all is going great and then you hit a wave and that's what happened to me. We each have 2 children ages 15 and...
Screw grandparents rights. The only rights a grandparent should have are the rights the parents give them. Its been a while since I have posted on here....
Ummm.a bit hostile, don't you think? I know that you have had a very bad experience with "grandparents' rights", but let's talk a bit more civilly to each...
There has to be some defining here, because the issues overlap, but are also distinct. All of these hinge on parental fitness (which in some instances, is also...
I am sorry. I dont mean to be so hostile on this subject. As far as placing a child with a family member, eg. grandparents, that is great. But I know my...
I'm sorry I did not intend to be hostile. I am really looking at things structurally and until I studied sociology I probably wouldn't know half the stuff I ...
I am really sorry that you are having a hard time regarding your children. I truly am as it is so stressful I am speaking probaly more from philosophy in a...
I think the murky area for me is defining. In my case the reason I joined the group was to find out about LEGAL issues surrounding what I can do since that is ...
Again here we are talking about a value placed on old, placed on elders and a different structuring of family and definitions. I still agree if grandparents or...
It used to be that we lived in communities, small towns etc in pre-industrialization and we were interdependent. Times have changed and so relationships and...
just out of curiousity... do the grandparents involved HAVE court ordered access? Have you ever researched Granville vs Troxel? That is the case that went to...
I don't know the whole story in this exchange but I agree to not let THEIR conflict, they own that, color your visit.If you take part in it then you are...
Wendy - Congrats. I hope it goes well. Remember, that as hard as it may be, you know the truth no matter what son-in-law's mother says. And it might take you...
It sounds like everyone is trying to involve all the children. I think that is good. Living in Hawaii for 30 years taught me a lot about families also. There...
It doesn't sound like it has been a recurring incident. When children get out of the home I think it's just a little different. My parents always give presents...
what I am talking about is....what right does a grandparent have to say that they will be in town on Friday pick up the kid from daycare and drop her back off...
