Four years ago my marriage ended it had been a hard 30yrs many outside factors added to our problems . I decided I’d had enough the children were grown up living their lives so I left . I moved away to stay with a friend and eventually met someone new , my daughter visits regularly but if I want to see my son I have to travel back home and stay in a hotel to meet up . The kids still live in the family home with their father so I can’t go there to see them . I get back as much I as I can but it’s an expensive trip . My son and his girl friend are expecting their first child and he’s buying a house for them , I’m super excited at the prospect of my first grandchild and it will be lovely I can stay with them when I visit . When I was speaking to my son a few weeks ago he seemed very awkward and said you know I want you there when the baby is born but the girlfriend has said I can come and see the baby when it’s born but I can’t stay I have to leave as she wants 2 weeks on her own to bond . I totally understand they don’t want me hanging around at their special time and I certainly didn’t intended to visit and impose for more than a night but I did I admit get a little upset . Living 150 miles away I can’t be sure when I’ll get there I may miss the baby being born or I could be hanging around for hours or I may have to come the following day . The way it was worded I could see the baby then leave maybe I’m taking it all wrong but both my daughter and partner are furious .
