Is it to do with the care of the children?

What is it they ask that you don't want to do?

Hi Monkie if you go to "Relationships" section and click on "Denied Contact" posts you will find all manner of information that may help you with your problem,I personally have never been affected by this and my heart goes out to you but I would tread very carefully about going down the Court route as it could make matters worse with your relationship with your son and (I stand to be corrected) I believe the Courts cannot make contact happen it is up to the parents.
Can you not write to your son & dil and express your feelings and maybe arrange to meet up at a mutually agreed place for a chat about what has gone wrong,when you are busy parents with youngsters I would imagine the smallest thing said in error by anyone can be blown all out of proportion so maybe this is what has happened.

What happened that made your son stop trusting you?

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.
