What to do with this kid?
He wanted his brother's life insurance as soon as he left for Iraq - called me and left a message that I was a joke as a Mother and Grandmother - now he's keeping his daughter and I apart.....it's breaking my heart.

If you let him get to you, then he's won!! I would not respond at all, and, after a few months, he's going to need a favor from home, and then you can let him know that you are his mother with personal feelings, not his personal delivery service!
As far as your granddaughter goes, keep praying for the girl! I know that sounds somewhat simple, and maybe a little unfeeling, but, without taking the time to go into the details, my mother-in-law had a similar situation, and, the Lord worked it out by her praying faithfully.

What a tragic situation and what a jerk. Sadly, you don't have a whole lot of control in the matter unless you live in Florida which has pretty good grandparents rights laws so the best thing to do is just let it go. You can do nothing but just shrug. Good luck.

Some states allow grandparents rights. You made him mad when you stood up to him. When he needs something he will come running back with his tail between his legs. He doesn't need his brothers life insurance policy

Not sure what you are really saying...are you the grandmother and son won't let you see your grandchild? If that is the case grandparents have rights too, take him to court and get grandparents visitation ordered...

my brother gets mad at my mom and keeps his kids away...my mom always was the first to apologize even when things were not her fault...finally after 13 years she has told him she was tired of him bullying her and she has stuck to her guns....just leave him alone, but always remember b-days, holidays and anniversaries....send a card or leave a message, if he does not call back you have done all you can do. you are not a bad mom, he is a bad son....good luck and have a great day!!!

Tell him you want to see your granddaughter. Fight for custody of her, but let him have visitation. I's not right that you and her both have to suffer because he can't have his brother's life insurance. Best of Luck!

Something's going on here. What he's going isn't right. If he doesn't think that much about you and your parenting skills, let him go his own way for a while. When he needs you, he'll come back. Otherwise, there's not much you can do.

you should take him to court for grandparents rights... and get visitation and as far as he is concerned seem like he is pretty selfesh worring about life insurance on a soldier that is fighting for his freedom and ours.... mabe he should of been the one to go to iraq might change his ways

Doesn't sound like you have had a very good relationship. There isn't much you can do except keep trying to talk to him.
