What is the name of your state? WI. My family is all screwed up. Literally!My ma and dad don't talk, my father goes to the bar every night. he's been doing this since he was 18 he is now 63. my father verbally abuses my mother and my father isn't any better. A few years ago I was desperate and need my parents to help me out. I have a son and couldn't make ends meet so I moved in with them until I was able. Now I'm on my own with my son and he is attached to grandma. Not that theres really anything wrong with it, but when I was living there I couldn't take the constant verbal abuse. So now a bunch of crap arose and I would like to tell my mother to stay the F___ out of our lives, but my son just wants to spend time with his grandma. In the end result my son is going to need counseling because he thinks a disfunctional family is the right thing. She tells him stuff that is just too far out to even type not to mention I could write a book. Is there anyway to do this nicely? Or do I have to be the B___?

I'm not a lawyer!
You don't mention how old your son is but it shouldn't really matter. The point I'm getting at is that kids realize a lot more than most parents think they do. Your son most likely realizes that the type of relationship your mother and father have with each other isn't the rule but the exception. Have you spoke to your son and explained that that sort of relationship isn't "normal" and that no family is ever really "normal" but instead, average or above/below average? Give it a shot.

my son is 14. he has a learning disability which makes it a little harder for him to understand what is happening. He thinks its ok. I can't even invite both parents over for a gathering without them getting on each other. How embassrassing. People have even said to me that they can tell that theres something wrong. I think it would be easier to tell my mother to butt out but don't even know where to start. I know not every family is perfect this family is far from not being perfect if you understand that. And its bad when other people point it out that isn't even other family members. HELP!!!!
