Please help why can't my daughter get over her ex who divorced her 6 yrs ago?i fear this is hurting my granson

Sue has been in/out of relationships(at least 7) since her divorce 6 yrs ago and currently single.Her ex cheated on her and left her for an old gf.She was devastated and still is.All she can do is talk badly about her ex and his new wife(not the old gf).In all honestly the ex has been an excellent dad and been really good at working things out with her(child support,rules ect)but she just cant get over her jealousy of his new wife and what he did to her over 6yrs ago and move on.She says these things in front of my granson who is now 8yrs and old enough to know what is going on.I also feel for her when she found out he was engaged she cryed for days.Why can't she move on?

She needs to talk to a professional. She also needs a support group. A parent should never talk about adult issues in front of kids. Kids pick up on EVERYTHING!!!!

But, we can't make anybody do anything they aren't willing to do for themselves. Here's what you do, Grandpa. Spend more time with your grandson. Take him fishing, take him to the beach, take him to the zoo. Ask him questions and find out how he's feeling. Don't interject your own point of view. Ask thoughful questions and let the kid talk it out. Offer him support. Make him feel better. Give him the emotional tools to deal with his own mother. Remind him often that he is not responsible for the way adults feel. That's what grandpas do.
