Long time lurker here. I used to read these forums to see if anyone had a similar situation to my own, and how others coped. A bit of background: Son and DIL went NC for a while. She and I never got on, but were respectful at the very least. A spat ensued over what was probably my overzealousness when it came to my two young grans. She reacted like a dragon and my son of course backed her. For sure, she crossed the line. Now I am wondering if I should have handled things a bit better. Does anyone else here reflect and honestly see their own role, whatever the size, in their estrangement? If so, how does one begin the reconciliation, assuming one or both parties actually wants it?
