Emma Asked:
“My son is a well respected physician, whose work consumes him. I have noticed and today his eldest son expressed to me that his dad, “puts him down”; doesn’t care about him; calls him names; I believe this is true, but perhaps not as regular as his son is telling me. (I hope) I would like advice about whether I should talk to my son. Am I likely to do more harm than good?”

Dear Emma,
As a parent you probably didn’t appreciate being told how to parent, especially by people who don’t know the whole story.
That being said, it probably wouldn’t hurt to have an open, honest, non-accusatory conversation with your son. Keep in mind that your grandson may be exaggerating and/or feel particularly victimized because he’s a kid.
Good luck.
Sincerely,
Suzanne White Montiel
