What I would call my grandmother is not something to be said in polite company.

My Father caught her trying to smother my sister with a pillow when she was still in the cradle. She had gone a bit funny in the noddle though (not my sister).
She also made my uncle Robert deaf in one ear by slapping him acrross the head with her hand.

She's been dead for some time now thank God!

Any chance your grandmother had postpartum depression? They didn't really know much about it back when your dad was little. I'm sure they must have thought all women who had postpartum depression as being a little funny in the noddle. And did you ever ask what your uncle Robert did that got him slapped? I'm sure she didn't hit him like that to intentionally make him deaf in that ear. Maybe your grandmother was given a bad rap.
I may not have my Cherry, but I still have the Box it came in.

I have some idea as she slammed my head into the wall when I was about 4 for taking a Fox's glacier mint from the jar.

.............Nah  :-\ , I wouldnt say that, what might seem plain cruel or dumb to us might be cause by some genuine disability, impairment or simply put, disease. Many ordinary good folks might do things that makes them nutt jobs, but thats because of an underlying problem. What if his grandmother had some psych problem? that explains alot, but if that was the case then how could anyone incriminate her  :-[  :-\

Yes she probably had a psych problem of some form. I do not believe in good or evil. She did not approve of the marriage of her last daughter, who was expected to look after her in her dotage, to my Father. My family on my Mother's side were all a bit crazy it appears. My grandfather? now there is a subject for another thread but interlinked of course to the whole craziness that resulted.

A totally bent up family by most perceptions.
