[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous[b]]MIL isn't playing with a full deck.[/b] I've lost beloved animals and really get how hard it is but can't imagine becoming so bent out of shape that I can't bear to hear it mentioned - and by my own grandson, no less. And to get angry like that, at a young child who is also trying to process and understand the loss - that's just not right. I'm really puzzled by PPs who find her behavior defensible - do you really think it's okay to ban your grandchild from your home until he stops talking about something that clearly has impacted him in some way too? Is MIL really that fragile that she can't handle a child's questions?

What would I do in this situation? I would be appalled, and would feel the need to protect my child from this negativity from his grandparent. I would try to help MIL understand DS's behavior but if the cruelty continued then I wouldn't bring him over anymore. I'm sure there are enough people in OP's life who love and appreciate her DS for who he is and that should be his community.[/quote]

You may have something there.  When my FIL starting acting peculiar and not like the reasonable adult that he had been, it turned out he was at the beginning stage of Alzheimer's.[/quote]
