Two things came to mind immediately. 1. The sons need to be reminded to honor their father and mother. The biblical mandate is not qualified they simply must be sure to honor them in thier response to this situation. 2. The Grandchildren need to be protected from verbal abuse. If grand mother is too out of control then mesures should be taken to ensure they are not needlessly exposed. That is their father and mother's responsibility. However, arrangements can be made for visits with grandfather seperately I would think.

As to other issues, it is a very complex situation and you will need to deal with one issue at a time. You can see the issues clearly. So I think prayer will result in God guiding you through the details. In most situations it is right for the husband to stay with his wife. If she refuses to get help and wants to end the relationship that is another issue. He, as the head of the home, must be dilligent to lead his wife. I won't presume to know what steps of leadership will be needed. But he must be encouraged and supported in his efforts to see his wife restored to soundness of mind.

I will be praying for you and all those affected by this situation. God will provide!
