[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Helping in this situation wouldn’t be helping or just being a grandparent. It would be starting over as a primary parent all over again. [/quote]

The opposite of cutting off (monetarily, emotionally) is NOT assuming the role as the main parent. Good lord.[/quote]

Have you met a teen parent before? Because it actually does mean assuming the main role. Maybe not 100% with changing diapers but certainly 100% with buying them.[/quote]

Yes, I’m the person who posted up thread that my grandparents completely cut off my parents. It was financially, emotionally and educationally detrimental to both of my parents. My grandmother apologized to me and my parents – separately because obviously they did not make it as couple - for her lack of financial support which led my Father, who had been accepted to prestigious colleges, to work for minimum wage for years instead of finishing school. Later, he did finish but basically tossing them out on the street because “I told you so“ can’t so much damage. My mother‘s parents were not financially secure and unable to help but take me and my mother in when my parents separated.[/quote]
