I'm Back! (3)

[Terapin]

I've got a question, maybe someone else had a similar situation.

My dad is in his mid-late 70s. He's about as 'old school' as you can get, and has absolutely no filter. The bond he has with my son is incredible, and he would literally do anything for him.

Anyway, to say that he's pissed about this is an understatement. Not at the divorce per se, but the pain it's causing (and will cause) son. If/when he sees my W, there's no telling what he'll say to her. He's never thought she was a good mother to begin with. I also have concerns that he'll tell son all of his thoughts and feelings about her too.

I've tried telling him that everyone needs to be amicable, at least until the D is finalized. And even beyond, for son's sake. I just don't know if he's going to comply. lol Any advice on this? Like, how to reign him in, should I alert W to expect a possible verbal assault, etc?
