Maybe I misstated. My son thinks the sun shines out her little behind. He adores her; there isn't anything he wouldn't do for her, but he's got this thing about her hair. The problem is that he and her mother are seperated, and her mother doesn't really want her. It's terrible for my graddaughter, but lucky for us. Now he's marrying another girl, and he works 10 to 12 hours a day, so she doesn't have any real comfort zone except with me. He only scolded her, but he thinks I'm too stupid to live because I left the scissors where she could get to them, and I guess he's right. I cannot believe I did that!!!
> I feel for you .. your son's reaction sounds a bit violent and out of place ... I wonder what life is like for your granddaughter, with a man like that ... and he's your son, how sad for you because it sounds like he doesn't treat you any better than he treats her. Your granddaughter is lucky to have you, don't beat yourself up. She's going to need your influence in the next few years, I suspect. She said you were "fun" .. that says everything .. she cut her hair because she wants to be more like you ... there again, everything.
