[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really think this call for therapy about almost everything is off.  OP, your kid sounds like he has a very healthy self esteem and a natural knack for dealing with his grandpa.  You could spend some times clarifying issues with him, explaining and so forth.

I sincerely understand the healthy urge to avoid teaching our kids that abusive relatives are OK--you know what I mean--but from what you have written, OP, it seems as if your little guy has a natural talent, and a very good level of emotional security from you.  He feels safe sticking up for you and himself, if I'm reading you accurately.  If your little one can see past the illness and have a relationship with his old grandpa, this is great!  Good luck, OP.  Mental illness in families is a heartbreak many of us share.[/quote]

+1000  Sounds like your little guy will be able to teach you a few things about dealing with an aging parent.  He sounds like a chill kid who both understands how to be protective of you and his beloved grandpa.  You are very lucky, OP!  [/quote]
