As a mother, i'd take the retaliation if the end result was the child getting the help they needed, i'd report it. Then i'd kiss every inch of mom's butt so i can see my grandchildren on her time.that is kinda what I am saying. i will have to say that I was there with her.. which I was. I was just hoping to get around it. As I mentioned my brother will only retaliate against my mother. probaly keep the grand kids from her for awhile and yell and scream at her. appreciate all the advice i recieved here today.
