Dilemma/ what modules to focus on
Hello, I joined this program about a week ago. I have a dilemma about how to handle my son and still see my new grandbaby, who turned 1 on February 22nd. They came to visit for a few days. Me/ my fiance and the rest of the family live in NC to celebrate my grandbaby birthday. The day after my grandbaby‘s birthday, there was a blowup between my 26-year-old son and his 21-year-old fiancée. My son likes to dictate what he wants to say, but he does not want to hear anything I have to say. He will not accept any praise from me or anything. He has anger issues, and his fiancée is a ticking time bomb. She comes to visit my house with my son and my grandbaby, Eleanor. I do try to break away for short periods of time, but this particular weekend was very difficult. My future daughter in law does not like being here at my fiancé’s and my home. She tried to cause problems with our neighbors the last time she came here. She does not want me to speak to her at all. Anyway, they wanted my fiancé and me to help them move into their new place. My son started calling me mental because my fiancé and I were going to get a hotel. Meanwhile, my son’s fiancée tells me that she hates me. Next, my son says he wants to kill me because he thinks I am causing drama. They said I will no longer be able to see my grandbaby. My dilemma is that my oldest child, who is my 33-year-old daughter, is pregnant. She is having a gender reveal on May 7. My son and family will be coming to my daughter‘s gender reveal. I can very well see how my son‘s fiancée will deliberately pass Eleanor, my grandbaby, all around to various family members except me. Just for spite, because she has done other manipulations in front of me and around my family. My family doesn't see it, but my fiance sees how she covertly manipulates. My family, which is my parents, my daughter, my sister, and my nephews, likes to push things under the rugs and keep them for my fiance and me. They know how my son can be because he has been a total terror for most of his life. How can I approach all these concerns? What do I need to start practicing?

@Lilian Shehayeb i has to cancel my appointment because I've been missing some work. Also, I found out that my daughter is pregnant so I need to save some time off for her as well. I do want to speak with Catherine, but maybe in a couple of weeks. Ty
