Getting to see a grandson in hospital

Heartbreaking. Could DD be afraid that he could love you more than he loves her? Just a thought.

Can you Skype him? That might help continue the contact.

Tricky, get a parcel together of good swag for your GS and nip in quickly to see him, hard though now that parents are allowed to spend long hours with kids in hospital to co ordinate such a visit.

If you generally only see him for an hour a month, will he be expecting you? Maybe best to leave a nice parcel for him with the nurses, rather than deviate from the norm. No one wants to make anything worse than it need be when someone is poorly.

What a sad situation. The more I look on here the more I see how unreasonable some children have become (mine included!). I hope you manage to see him at least for a short visit. You could write to him too perhaps?

My DIL has just banished me so I haven't been able to visit my DGS (14) over the half term, and my daughter and SIL in USA have 'forbidden' me from contacting my three grandchildren at the moment. (This makes me sound like an ogre which I'm not!!! Far from it in fact!). I've written about my own situation so that you know how much I can empathise with you.
I feel for you, I really do. It's heartbreaking - so much estrangement amongst families.

That's sad. I'm sure your grandson, at 10, understands why you have limited time with him. Even at the risk of a knock-back, I'd ask your daughter if there was a short 10 minute slot where you could perhaps visit without upsetting her.

mary what an awful situation, i think you need to go with the rules, your DGS is 10 and in a few short years will be able to make his own choices so just play by the rules, dont every say a bad word about his Mum as i am sure he will see he for what she is. Just enjoy your time with him.
