Hello, I have a problem. I have three daughters. I brought them up from 4, 9 and 13 myself and I thought we were very close. My eldest grandson lived with md for 3 years and then had had to go I to care (he was 18 and autistic and needed more help than I could give) I was told to tell Socisl services he could no longer live with me. Ever since that time his mother has not spoken to me directly or contacted me accept about the kids. My other daughter stopped talking to me because even I came to thd end with Luke and was very stressed etc. I told both daughters I needed to go away for a week. They both hit the roof. My one grandsons mother did not want to come over and look after him while I away and my other daughter was angry as I could not look after her son after school for that week. Even though her sister would have helped. Since then neither talk to me or initiate conversation. The ignore me unless I ask them something. They no longer involve me in anything etc. My youngest daughter has tried to intervene but I told her to leave it as she would only be in the middle. I never did go on the weeks holiday as I said I would cancel it, but they just blanked me. I am Not perfect but I have bent over backwards to help them many times but that all seems forgotten. I asked them individually to meet me somewhere neutral to discuss but they refused. I am so esperately hurt by all this and I just dont know how to come to terms with it all. It makes me so down. Does anyone have any advice please? I am sorry this post is so long but I had to give some detail. Thank you.
