My husband and i finally confronted his Mother and told her How hurtful her behaviour was. We asked her if she could find it in her heart to treat Joey the same Way she treats her other grandchildren. She made it Clear that the Mere act of adopting Joey did not make him her grandson. She claims he is unruly and ill behaved. I tried to explain that he is just an energetic 2-year-old and that he senses her hostility which makes him behave even More aggressively. Finally she blurted out a Joey will always be in trouble. He has bad blood. 1 done to want to have anything to do with him a husband and i were so upset we told her she could no longer see any of the children.
