[quote=Anonymous]My parents are a piece of work. My dad is a control freak and my step mom is an alcoholic. The only way she says she could stay with my dad. I have had limited contact with them and my brother has no contact other than by phone. He does not allow his daughters to see their grandparents at all. His youngest daughter has never met them.  My husband respects my father as do I.  I just don't like him. I have allowed my daughter to spend a week with them every summer. Two summers ago my daughter found a wind bottle wrapped in my step Moms towel and she refused to get in the car with her to drive back to the house. My daughter is 10 now. She called me and I drove down and picked her up. After much drama and swearing by my parents that she had gone to rehab and doing AA/Alanon etc. I agreed to let me daughter go one week last summer to visit. My step-mom came to visit and she spent the 2 days in my guest room. After she left I found 2 large wine bottles hidden in the closet. I called my dad and told him and he told me he was having trouble having her admit she was an alcoholic.  I have decided to not let my daughter go again to visit. My father does not like me and does not want me in his home, as I talk back.  I am 50 and they are 75 and 80. I don't want my dad to die without spending time with my daughter as I respect him. However, I am done letting her be around this behavior, letting this be a role model and potential safety issues.  Can anyone think of a solution to this problem or some help. Thanks.[/quote]
