Hi all
I am back again. Just when I thought life was getting a bit more settled my dear daughter announced to me that she is pregnant again with her 2nd child. She lives in Australia and our first Grandchild was born there last March. We got to see him when he was 3 months old so that was lovely. However we had made plans for her to come back in Feb and stay for his first birthday. She now informs me that due to the pregnancy she will have to come a month earlier and so the celebrations will be off. Now i need to cancel the hall etc. I realise these things happen and I am absolutely thrilled for them and us that she is having another baby despite the fact that I think she will have her hands full and there is no one there to support her. But she tells me her in laws are going to stay for 3 months to help as they know it is difficult for us as we have a disabled son and the journey is quite a strain on him. This said I could not believe that she was saying that maybe we could go out there for xmas next year. The baby is due in May. How could she think we would not want to see it before then. I am totally devastated. I am feeling alot of anger and I am ashamed to say resentment towards my son in law as it has always been evident that he gives more priority to his side of the family. I am probably not thinking straight as my emotions are so raw. I dont think they know the pain of seeing our grandchild and not being able to kiss him or play with him. I realise they have their own lives to live but I feel so sad .
Thanks for listening and any advice and honesty will be appreciated
