Hi Dutch, my ex son in law pulled such a stunt also, told the kids, and us, that his father had brain cancer and had 6 months, that was to explain his supposed change in temperment (only towards his son). Everyone was anxious, I was doubtful from the start, of course he didn't have a tumour. After his son left his family, the father did develop prostate cancer and has had successful treatment thus far. But it was handled so much better that nobody became too agitated.
I sometimes think this is just a cry for attention, in my ex s-i-l's case I am sure of it. But that cry can wreak havoc to those around them and have long-lasting effects. Who will ever believe anything they say again?
Hugs to you and your granddaughter,
Mary

What is the matter with these people??

God knows it is not something you would want to bring on yourself.
Do they even think about KARMA?

Mary and Joyce, that is so awful, but Joyce... if your girl goes back to her mother.
DO NOT stop talking to her, she may need you one day.
Good luck.

Hi Dutch

Don't usually come on General. That's awful situation, agree with Deanna - just always be there for your granddaughter like you so obviously have been all her life.

You sound like such a loving grandmother.
