We have twins, son and daughter.
Daughter is a single lady, partner in a DC law firm, on several charitable and corporate boards, friend to all.
Son is divorced, left our daughter-in-law (I hate that term and I introduce her as my daughter) and two grandsons. The divorce came after he was charged with possession of child porn, carnal knowledge of a minor, and two similar counts. Turns out, he was getting it on with a 15-yr-old, a 17-yr-old, and a 19-yr-old at his work -- we found his hidden camera with over 400 interesting photos.
He's a rightwing nut, Fox addict, Trump voter, proto-Nazi, and all around asshole. The only reason he no longer owns a houseful of firearms is his felony conviction. He went berserk when I told him I had found all his weapons and ammo, sold the guns, gave away the ammo.
We finally cut him off. We lives two states away; we hear from him once a year when he sends his sister a Christmas card.
Most terrible thing we ever went through, still, sometimes you have to walk away.
