Can anyone advise me. My only son and I used to have a great relationship prior to him getting married. The wife is rather controlling and since having their 2 children they have used them against me as in if I do not do as they ask they stop me from seeing them. This has happened 3 times (children are 4 and 2) They know me and certainly my grandaughter would have been asking after me. At our last meeting (my son and I) he pretty much abused me and said he didnt trust me with the children (although iv babysat every thursday and most saturday days for the last 2 years) Hes finding every excuse how he can justify this. I have tried contact through other people and im just ignored. Im a working professional woman (bad divorce from his father, due to his dads adultry) I need to know if i go through the courts will they try and get me to have contact with the children. I feel so sad and as if a massive part of my life is missing without the contact with the children.

My guess is that this has a lot to do with the refusal of the loan. Clearly, your son seems to think that he has some kind of proprietorial rights over you - including a claim on your money.

Monkie It does appear that your son and DIL are users and don't care who they hurt, their own children included. I can only suggest that you let them get on with it for now. They will more than likely realise they need you to babysit sooner rather than later.

Having to go hat in hand and justify your life probably wont work, you would be giving this pair more ammunition. Your son should be ashamed of himself.

After reading through the posts again I think that you should now let the dust settle and I'm sure you will hear from them soon for babysitting duties,don't do the daily texting to your son let him wonder why you have stopped for a while,I would also put off any thoughts of seeing a solicitor re courts proceedings because once they have started a totally differant can of worms will be opened and resentment will be flowing and things could become more strained than they are at present. take care.
