Marcel Rofo’s point of view, child psychiatrist

You support your daughter-in-law, this fragile mother, at the same time as you protect your grandchildren. You have to hold on, Nadine, because, I think, your position is right. By maintaining relations with Delphine, you will be more able, in the future, to explain to your grandchildren the fragility of their mother and to answer the questions that Cédric, their father, may not be able to provide them. Get closer to the psychiatrists who follow this young woman, to keep you informed of her evolution.

Above all, refrain from talking about it with your son. No doubt he experiences a feeling of guilt of not having supported his partner, to the point of nourishing aggressiveness towards you, which show you capable. Measuring it is important to prevent tensions from getting worse and end up harming the whole family. You do not have to justify yourself before him of what you do for Delphine. You play a key role, Nadine, which you alone can hold: in this search for permanent balance, it is for you to be in alliance with your daughter-in-law, while showing great neutrality in relation to her in the eyes of your son.
