She may be afraid that the boy will idolize his dad, grow up to be like him, etc. However, unless Dad is abusive or has in some way earned the right NOT to see his son, the boy needs to see him. Understanding where dad is and learning that there are consequences to our behaviors can only benefit the child. Avoiding the inevitable will not assist the mother and will likely create a far greater anger in your grandson. Just my opinion...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-52406709505705802132007-11-13T13:21:00.000-06:002007-11-13T13:21:00.000-06:00My son is in prison and he has 2 boys, the older o...My son is in prison and he has 2 boys, the older one 10 yrs has alot of anger and sometimes isolates himself he wants to see his Dad, but his mother will not allow it, how can i help my grandson deal with this angerTexas Nanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04387477135614755418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-10927737945513141832007-11-13T13:20:00.000-06:002007-11-13T13:20:00.000-06:00My son is in prison and has 2 boys, the older one ...My son is in prison and has 2 boys, the older one 10 yrs, he has a lot of anger and sometimes isolates himself, he misses his Dad, but his mother will not let him visit him, I need some guidance as to what I can do to help my grandson.Texas Nanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04387477135614755418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-79474679956917979972007-11-12T16:31:00.000-06:002007-11-12T16:31:00.000-06:00As a Case Manager of aggressive youth, I fully und...As a Case Manager of aggressive youth, I fully understand the ramifications of parents in prisons. Their children are angry, frustrated, lack basic social skills and are often underdeveloped in education. I have been fortunate to have meaningful, prosperous mentor-like relationships as a part of my job and I am thankful that these kids have learned to trust my motives as true and unwavering. Many times, they are so dejected and angry that they are unwilling to believe that there is any other life available to them besides the one they watched their families exhibit. Kudos to this program and the other ones out there that continue to knock down the walls that rejection and lack of love helped build!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
