Summary

Mark and Janie take the angle of what they are seeing and experiencing as grandparents that can ruin the relationship they have with their children, in-laws, and grandchildren. This episode is not only for grandparents, but for adult children as well. We hope this episode will be healing, validating, and correctional for grandparents and adult children alike.
