What you are doing sounds normal. Especially with you paying child support. I certainly understand you feeling uneasy about this, but there may come a time when your grandma may have to go to a nursing home health reasons that you and your mom are unable to cope with. If and when this should happen I just hope that the two of you will realize that this is normal too.
