So, this is the situation. I have one GC whom I adore and I am the only grandma as SIL's much loved mum passed away before she was born. He and his siblings are still grieving and miss her every day. Recently their father has found a new 'lady' and the family are extremely upset, especially as the new lady has a reputation for being a golddigger with numerous ex husbands all of who she has benefited financially greatly (but spent it just as fast apparently). It would seem her plans with regard to gold-digging are the same with their father, She behaves like a 16 year old (sitting on his knee, kissing and pawing in public etc.), so not only are they very upset but also they are very worried as his head has been well and truly turned. Now, never having met this woman I do not consider it any of my business and as they all live in another country, I just feel a little sad for them. My issue is, this lady has been on the scene for just a few weeks and she sent a Christmas card to MY GC signed off 'with love from nanna and Grandpa" so now I am involved and feel very annoyed as I am my CC ONLY grandma. The problem is, she lives not far from my GC and I do not want to be the absent, oversees granny. Any advice?
