Hi all my son was with a women for a couple of years when she became pregnant too a beautiful little girl. My son was very unhappy in the relationship so got out when my granddaughter was 2, He did cheat with his first love, they are now married my daughter in law has a boy of 7 who is autistic his father cannot be bothered with him. My son stepped up and became a dad too him just like my daughter in law became step mum too my granddaughter. They all have a wonderful relationship.His x girlfriend is very much controlled by her mother. His ex did not have a relationship with her own father until she was 16. Anyway his exes mother is a control freak and thinks of all ways for my son not see my granddaughter. My son has been too court and sees my granddaughter at certain times on certain days. Anyway his exes mother is a control freak. Her latest thing is if my granddaughters mother continues too give free time too my son then she will go too court too get my granddaughter removed from her mother and gain full custody. My question is how do I deal with this I know she won't get custody as my son is an exellant father her mother is ok just controlled by her mother

Just let her carry on with it. Clearly Court isn't going to give GM custody because she doesn't like her daughter abiding by a Court order and giving access to Dad

You ignore it. She hasn’t a chance. Don’t get caught up in their drama. Just be a granny to your grandchild.

You really just have to ignore it. As pp said, there's no way the other granny is going to get "full custody" when both parents are doing a good enough job of raising the child. If the child's mum needs support to stand up to her own mum, that's where you and your ds can help.

Thank you all for sound advice it really is appreciated. i'm a mum of 4 sons and have 6 grandchildren all of who I love deeply. Guess i'm at the end of my tether and worry about my granddaughter she is only 5 and knows things that a 5 year old should not know.

@merrymaiden60

The grandmother has no zero chance of getting custody and sounds unhinged to me. Tell your son to just ignore this crazy woman.
