Good morning! I am new here and specifically searched out a site like this for my question. I need some help. A little background on my situation. My son is an addict. The baby's mama is an addict too. The baby was born on March 18. My son is in a rehab and she is staying with her mom and not going to rehab. I am trying to have a relationship with my grandson and I have gotten her to agree to let me have regular visitation on Wednesday evenings from 6-7:30 at my house. It is just me since my son is in rehab and has strict guidelines he has to follow. So here is my dillema. Everytime I go to pick the baby up she comes with me. She won't let me see him alone. So I have this pressure to keep up conversation while I'm trying to visit my grandson. I really just want to pick him up, spend time with him, and take him home. I don't mind spending time with her, as I want a relationship with her also, but I also want to spend time with my grandson alone. I do not want to hurt her feelings or make her mad by telling her this. But it needs to be put out there. Can anyone help me with ideas on how to approach this with her? Ways to say this so she isn't offended? Any advice is welcome.
