Gerda Rises Up to Go On

[Gerda]

P.S. S14 brought it up again tonight during our usual late-night talk. But this time said that what MIL actually said was, "Mama and Papa are driving me crazy, so I just want you and D to come."

I told S that I did not think it was a healthy environment there but would not mind if he went for a night or two and that I felt really sad and uncomfortable that she would talk badly about me to my kids in that way, that what was best for the kids would be to see their grandparents without that kind of talk going on. He said he didn't really want to go anymore but said, "You poisoned me against it now." I tried to explain that I wasn't trying to do that and wanted him to see his grandparents and wasn't sure what to do but just knew that this was not very healthy. I started to explain my FL idea but then he switched the topic -- e.g., shut it down.
