part two of his CBS Early Show interview, Levi Johnston - the 19-year-old father of Sarah Palin's grandson - continued to accuse the Palin family of keeping him from spending time alone with his 3-month-old son, Tripp.
Levi's mother, Sherry Johnston, also claimed the family won't let her see her grandson and wants a pow-wow with the Palins to work out a custody arrangement.
In a perfect world, "everything will be reconciled," Sherry said. "[I hope] we can get together, if for no other reason, [than] for Tripp. He deserves to know both grandmas and grandpas, and aunts and uncles. And mom and dad."
"I had a really rough summer," added Sherry, who faces six felony counts of possessing and selling the prescription painkiller OxyContin.
After her arrest, she said the arrival of her grandson "was what kept me going. Just waiting for him."

Wiping tears from her eyes, she added, "I mean, Bristol and I talked about it a lot. Just like, 'Well, you'll have Tripp soon. And he'll be there for you.'"
"You're still waiting"? Rodriguez asked.
"I'm hoping," Sherry said. "I'm begging."

Levi said that while he talks to Bristol, 18, "every day, every other day," the conversations are "real short."
"You know, I call her to see -- see how my baby's doing," he said. "That kind of thing. But we don't really sit there and talk. Like, 'How are you -- how you been?' I mean, she's real short with me."
Tell Us: Whose side are you on - Levi or Bristol's?
tell blue jeans boy to do the right thing and stop pandering to the MSM.
Did US Magazine also run a story on the Obama bow and Barney Frank’s role in the economic crisis?
Wasn’t his mom busted recently?
It looks like the Palins are better off with these folks out of their life.
I feel sad for the families and the kid.
God be with them.
Good luck in court with that one.
The Levi should stop talking to the MSM
“After her arrest, she said the arrival of her grandson ‘was what kept me going.’”
“Well, that and the OxyContin.”
I'm sure US will get right with pressuring Obama to help his brother and having Biden toss his daughter in rehab.
Jann Wenner is the publisher of US, I believe. ‘nuff said.
On Larry King last night, Dr. Laura was asked about the Bristol Palin situation. She said the child should have been given up for adoption to a couple who could give it a stable, happy home. Adult feelings should not trump a child’s needs, was her take.
Please God, grant to me the wisdom to help my daughter never end up with a loser like that.
I agree. Why he may get the baby boy for a day and you will find the baby boy on TV that night.
This young man is out to get himself known. He said in one interview he would like an acting job. He does have the looks, I think he might need more than looks to land a good job.
Bristol Palin needs her Mothers advice. She already made a mistake, now is the time to listen to mom. She is a beautiful girl and I really believe she intends to take good care of her baby boy.
Now I get it. I was wondering why all of this fuss over the Johnson family — it’s a ploy to use public pressure into getting some kind of custody arrangement for Tripp.
“Dr.” Laura should take early retirement.
Her advice is idiotic.
I believe this Granny’s got some drug problems and convictions, doesn’t she? I would restrict access too.
If Levi’s paying child support, he should be allowed to see the boy. Don’t know about crack-smokin Granny.
Otherwise, shut up.
