Is it normal that father trying to date son's x girlfriend?

Father is going on 60, the son's x girlfriend is 27 and has a 5 year old boy that the son and the girlfriend had together. They were not married, she got pregnant after 3rd date. The father has become so infatuated with his grandson, and buys him anything he wants, also pays the mother, and buys her expensive gifts like a car! The father takes both the mother of the child and his grandson on long weekend trips. The mother ( son's x-girlfriend) is a manipulative opportunist and relys on everyone around her to take care of her and her son, she refuses to take care of herself, is lazy and only looks for men who can provide for her.

The son is disgusted by his fathers actions, however refuses to talk to his father about it. It makes him sick to his stomache. Total betrayal as his own father is " acting like" he is the FATHER to the grandson, in his mind controlling every situation with the grandchild.

The x-girlfriend is enjoying the ride, has two other boyfriends and is happy to accept the Grandfathers handouts, playing the victim and poor me syndrome. She then gets whatever she wants.

Everyone is " sure" she is having sex with him ( the father) and she will do whatever it takes to get more money etc out of him, while the ( Grandfather) is an old man and is getting off on lavishing in the thought of this dysfunctional affair. Total Jerry Springer episode for sure! Everyone i8n the family is talking behind his ( the Grandfather's) back at how disgusting he is acting.

The situation is out of control, the x-girlfriend has totally manipulated this situation and knows how to do it perfectly. Even though his son has moved on, he can't put it into words to ask his father to stop before it's too late. the x-girlfriend is a liar, she has stolen from family members, and will con a con to get what she wants.

What would any of you say or do in this situation, it really is totally mind blowing and yuccckkky!

    The person who will suffer for this is the child. Too many people are involved in the child's life and only for their own benefit. The child needs only one or two stable adults giving regular routines to thrive. Not an array of different people popping in and out to "help", including "Robinhood".

    The spineless father needs to step in and take control from the Mr. McFeely Grandfather and the snake-like "mother". The young father needs to fill the void.

    • Tarkio : RE your feedback on this situation, you included Robinhood as one of those people popping and out of this child life and trying to help.

      That certainly is not the case. I am merely a sounding board for those involved, and remain neutral. I came here to get opinions on this issue to see if there was perhaps any positive advice. Thank you for your input as well, but don't judge if you don't know what you are talking about.

    I say the guy should take his kid away from the ex so he won't have to grow up around a toxic mother.

    Is it normal to have a prostitute?
    Yes of course. Men (of any age) get it from wherever they can.
    Personally I don't pay for any prostitutes, it doesn't give me the same warm feeling.

    Jessicababy33- thanks for your input. The son is totally involved with his own son, hasn't rejected him at all. He is the love of the son's life. It's just sad to see the grandfather and son in this web of hurt.

    The grandfather has no clue that he is hurting anyone, because no one wants to talk to him about it. Strange situation.

    Well it's sad the the son doesn't want to be in his kids life maybe grandpa is making up for it. I completely agree that mommy's actions are disgusting,rude, and childish. I
    Know a women who does absolutely nothing. She's abandon her kids when they and lived off her father, when her father died she ran for her kids and is now living off her kids. It's unhealthy. Dont get me wrong she only wants the best for the family but the is a tray of responsibility missing. Mommy need to get a job. Work for herself. And If things get tough. Ask dad for help? Not grandpa. It does sound fishy but try not to jump to conclusion of it get worse talk to her about it.
