My mother-in-law is one of those stereotypical (I know not all are actually like this) women who accuses the daughter-in-law of "stealing" her son. Anyway, I've never really felt comfortable with her babysitting our daughter. She always fed our daughter junk food (which is fine, to an extent, but this woman goes WAY overboard). I've seen her feed another grandchild for an after-school snack 2 ice cream sandwiches, then sat her down in front of the TV with a TUB of ice cream and a SERVING SPOON to eat and THEN a family size bag of potato chips to eat until she is done (a 5 yo). Among other things (hours upon hours of TV, playing with glass Christmas ornaments, force-feeding, etc.) this is typical. Anyway, my husband and I found out in June she was using METH. While I am no longer angry with her, I cannot let her watch my child (actually husband's decision, he is a police officer). Is it possible to forgive but not let her have my daughter.
