Sia - how about something
Sia - how about something with death and stepfamilies? Or when 2nd families are torn apart by conflict - and there is visitation between the stepparent and the child?
SD's grandma on her Bio mom's side is very ill, and could definitely pass soon. There's been a lot of bad blood between BM's mom, and DH, and a lot of it aimed at me.
No matter what, when BM came here recently to pick up SD to take her to the hospital to see her mom, I couldn't help but notice how tired and sad she looked and how she was trying to hold it together. I gave her a hug (which she seemed shocked by), but also, when she was talking about her mom and teared up, I teared up as well, because I knew that despite all the bullshit, this person was hurting. SD actually was just staring at the two of us - we hugged, and we shared a tear.
Might be interesting family dynamics...
What about Hostile Aggressive
What about Hostile Aggressive Parenting, or Maternal Gatekeeping? Both good topics, and actually what happens in the parent/child relationship prior to PAS.
