Lathyrus is right. If you go against her she could make it difficult for you to see him too. Your son of course could facilitate you seeing your GS but you might not see him as often.

He is as you say being used as a weapon sad.

Do as the mum instructs.

Stay well out of it and do as she says. Or you will find that you don’t get to see your grandson either.

My grandsons mum is not with my son but he sees our grandson every two weeks and we (me and husband) also see him. Grandsons mum has fallen out with her own mum and has told us not to take our grandson to see her. She hasn’t given any specific reason as to why and until a few months ago her mum helped her a lot with childcare and loves her grandson. I feel so sorry for the other grandmas situation. Before I was told not to take him to see her I’d popped round with him for half an hour after I’d collected him from school. I would leave immediately if she spoke badly about grandsons mum to him or conversation was at all inappropriate but all she did was love him and chat about school etc. His mum is using him as a weapon as far as I can see. Our grandson is nearly 8. What should/could I do?
