I'm not really sure why i posted tbh.
I think i was just looking for some perspective off a grandparent.

I see so many ladies posting about how they are denied contact to their DGC and how much that hurt.
Yet my MIL lives 20 mins away max. Is in her early 40s and has an only son and 2 beautiful granddaughters that she could not be bothered to see for 2 months yet moaned about how awful we are keeping her away.
Oh and they have a car.

I just dont understand. Im furious with her. Its kinda like a delayed reaction i think.

Sorry! Without trying to resolve things.

to Do:

Honestly evaluate the behavior that led to the breach.
If you are at fault, apologize, apologize, apologize. Your dignity is not as important as restoring relations with your grandchild.
If after an honest evaluation, you still believe you were not at fault, apologize anyway and hope for the best.

This really hit home for me.
Im a Mumsnetter but i often lurk Gransnet. I saw this this morning and ive felt anger ever since.

Im the DIL btw. I have posted before looking for help regarding my MIL. The reason we are No contact is because of her. She knows what she has done and is still going round playing the victim. In this case her dignity is more important than her DGDs.

I dont understand how she can just walk away without trying toq
