... is 4. I have had him since 4 months old. My daughter, who is 30 years old, is now 20 months sober and I have allowed her to live with us. Grandson's father is mid-forties and has 6 living children - none he has raised. His parental rights were terminated from the 4 children just older than my grandson. He has a legal right to see his son if he follows the plan laid out by the court for supervision. He has never done this. "Father" is ex-felon, former (?) drug addict, on probation for I don't know what, might be employed. This is a high drama situation with loads of verbal, emotional and some physical abuse between my daughter and this man. My daughter HAD agreed that this man should follow the guidelines of the court to see his son. She recently violated this agreement and secretly let father and son meet without telling son who the man was. When I finally found out I told her she could not take her son alone anymore to anything more than scheduled appointments etc. Since I could allow these visits if I saw fit, my daughter says that I am just controlling, mean, and vindictive because this man has changed. I believe this man is not trustworthy, may be unstable, is generally a poor example to my grandson and I still want proper court ordered supervision of visits which he could do at any time. This man is a great "Uncle Daddy" - lots of fun for a short visit but not long-term real father material. Of course part of this picture is that I do not want my daughter involved with this man at all. I believe I am putting the best interest of my grandson first but am I missing something?
