Youve tried 'bulldozing' method unhappy1,maybe next try the gentle approach,or leave a bit to let them think it over.it cant hurt and you might be surprised, the parent may think in your favour if your not harassing them all the time.(you can always copy any letter you send) as 'proof' also maybe just send birthday cards for child if allowable,so they know youre thinking of them but dont want to 'scare them off',but in my opinion,forcing a child to see you just because youre the legal grandparent never goes well
