It has been a crazy few weeks but I'll try and keep this short.
Today I managed a video call with my son and grandchild. It didn't last long as there was no sound. We could only do it because DIL had gone for an appt.
We had arranged that I would go Wednesday morning for the first time in weeks (end of January) but I could sense my son was putting it off again,maybe to Thursday.
He rang me this evening and suggested Friday but I could hear her interrupting in the background and eventually she took the phone from him and gave me a tirade of abuse, blaming me for everything, not giving me a chance to speak, giving me her false interpretation of events and being so hysterical that I had to cut her off.
My son was really upset and messaged me to say it is best I don't go and not to ring him but only send texts.
She then messaged to say I should respect her wishes and none of what has happened is her fault.
Now I think I may send me son an e-mail to say if the only way he can be with her (he's left her many times but always goes back) is for me to stay away then I will but all I want to do is see my grandchild who hasn't been out of the house since I last went.
My son thinks we can meet up without the baby but DIL rages at him whenever he leaves the house.
I don't really want to see either of them right now, but I remain concerned about that poor child.
Should I just cut myself off from them now and concentrate on my other grandchildren?
I'm not sure my nerves can stand being in this situation any longer.
