Hello all. It is rare that I start a thread but this is a situation that is concerning and I'd like some ideas how to help my 11 year old grandson.
Recently he has become obsessed with finding and meeting his biological father who has seen him twice as a newborn and age 1. The man is aggressive, mean and a terrible liar. He was psychologically abusive to my daughter when they were together. She left him but discovered she was pregnant. She didn't want an abortion and returned to live with us. We have helped her bring up this lovely boy. DH and I love him to bits.
Now DGS, who knows about his father, wants to meet him saying that he wants to hear the other side of the story. We aren't really sure where the man is at present but could probably track him down with social media. I know that his head will be messed with and he will be told all sorts of lies about us 'keeping him away from his son'. The poor lad is confused and angry. His mum is worried that he is too young to deal with the mess this man is likely to make of his life.
Any ideas from you wise people how I can best support him?
