Mechanically Challenged

...get in touch with her but? she can with him and me. When I need to say something to her I just leave a message on her my space and she calls me. and she chooses not to speak to him for now, is it ok for me to go around his back to speak to her and not tell him about it? I have always thought of her as "a diamond in the rough", And we get along very well, I consider us to be friends. And she also has my 3 gorgeous grandchildren. BTW my son messed up that relationship royally by cheating on her not just once but twice back to back. Not heeding any advice I was giving him about it. So she left him when things took a turn for the worse.
So what do you all think, am I wrong for continuing my relationship with her not just as a concerned grandmother but also as a friend?
Or what should I tell my son that won't make him feel as if I'm betraying him.
Thanks Sarah. I agree with what you say about taking your childs side just because their your child, is WRONG.
tartarsrock: She and I have been good friends for years prior to this horrible fall out. Though we didn't tell each other everything, because, well I Was her mother-in-law and she my daughter -in-law (and there are some things she nor I wanted to hear about the other that were personal) She helped me in certain situations and I her and we always just enjoyed each others company. She is a good girl and I want nothing but the best for her.
