Our son and his wife split up 3 years ago because of her constant debt. The 2 daughters live with their father and his new partner in a stable, loving home. Recently, the 14 year old has been going through a stroppy teenager phase which resulted in homework not done, arguments, shouting culminating with 14 year old going to stay with her mother. Mother lives in chaotic and squalid circumstances, no discipline, daughter allowed do as she like. Of course, this suits her admirably and she has gone from a loving girl to the teenager from hell. As grannie, we want to help and it's hard to see our son, who was the prime parent, in despair. What can we do?
