"I am a grandmother of seven grandchildren. One of them is 14 years old and I worry about him. More exactly, it is the attitude of the parents towards this child that is a problem for me. He is a boy who is addicted to video games. He spends all his free time playing video games on the computer. His parents divorced a few years ago. They had joint custody, but my Ex-daughter-in-law moved to the South, 800 km away, so joint custody was no longer possible, and they managed to find an agreement so that my grandson would stay with his father. 

"

My ex-daughter-in-law absolutely wants her son back since her daughter no longer wants to live with her

"

My son also has a 16 year old daughter.

Last year she went to live with her mom.

It went very badly, so my granddaughter wanted to come back to live with her father.

My ex-daughter-in-law absolutely wants her son back since her daughter no longer wants to live with her.

The legal framework is not clear since there was joint custody and since the move of my ex-daughter-in-law, there has been no judgment.

It is an agreement between them. 

My son does not want his son to go to live in the South with his mother.

It must be said that she is an alcoholic and unable to manage a child.

It would be dramatic for him, but she still manages to bamboozle her son, who has decided to go live with her.

She blackmailed him by telling him that she would offer him this and that.

Obviously, as this boy has no other interests than video games, and my son tries as best he can to restrict and interest him in other things, he prefers to go live with his mother. . 

"

At school, he feels very bad and excluded

"

I have been suggesting to my son for years to put this child in boarding school so as to socialize him and so that he is framed by strict rules.

My son cannot adhere to this solution.

I can explain to him that his son is only 14 years old and that it is up to the father to decide, he thinks that if he does, the child will turn against him, and that anyway, his son would move to live with his mother. 

He has no friends, he lives in a completely closed world.

He has no social life.

He was a scout, but with the current situation, it's complicated.

At least scouting allowed him to be in a community.

At school, he feels very bad and excluded.

He does not have good academic results.

He has been followed by a psychologist for over a year, but because of the Covid, it is not very regular.

My son does not see any evolution.

He's having a hard time with this child.

He often gives up.

What will become of him, what is his future?

This is my fear.

My grandson does not speak at all.

There is no way to have a discussion with him or to make him talk.

When I ask him how it is, he just answers: 'Good'.

We can't communicate.

When I go to their place, I don't see my grandson.

He is constantly on the computer playing online games.

At Christmas, part of the family was reunited, there were five children, but he would sit aside and play on his phone.
