2 hours a week seems reasonable to me.
The thing is, it's right that your son spends time now with his wife and children, that's the way of things.

I'm afraid you can't use your depression as leverage.
All you can do is carry on with the counselling, and stay in touch with your doctor if it isn't working.

Hi everyone. I am a grandma of 2 children. I only get to see them 2 hours a week. I was soooo very close to my son until he got married. The decision was made that I would not see my son or my grandchildren except for one day a week for a couple hours. My depression has got so bad I cant cope. We live 1/2 a mile from each other. I saw my grandma all the time .Every weekend. What do I do? Am I being unreasonable? Yes Im on depression medicine.Yes Im in counseling.It is doing no good. Thank you for any input you might have to help me.
