I posted a while back and you ladies told me to back off. I have, I think, backed off. It's hard though. I don't feel like things are getting any better.
I have mostly stopped interfering, I don't offer any help or advice. I may slip up every now and then but I mostly just leave them to it. I mainly just leave my husband to communicate with my son and daughter in law as they appear more receptive to him.
My relationship with my daughter in law is non existent. I have resorted to getting information from her through my husband as she will quite happily talk to him. She is polite to me, but has completely shut me out.
My relationship with my grandson isn't much better. He has recently turned one and I feel like we are strangers. I don't seem him often and I have never been trusted to babysit him or even be alone in the same room as him. My son and daughter in law are always there.
My grandson seem to hate me. He seems fine with everyone else but he pushes me away or hides his face if I go near him. He adores his mother, my daughter in law. I worry that he is picking up on her feelings towards me.
I just don't know what to do. My son has rubbished my feelings and says that my grandson just takes a while to warm up to people. He told me to back off and let my grandson come to me. I tried this last time they were round and nothing changed. My grandson seems fine with everyone else, it's just me. It's exactly the same with my daughter in law.
I just don't know what to do. I fear if I back off anymore I will lose everything.
