I am a grandmother to two grandchildren, the second only a few days old. My first grandchild was born 3 years ago and for all of that time my daughter in law has kept him away from us for sometimes weeks on an end, always letting us see him again as if nothing has happened. I feel she does this to have a go at my son who up until he was born had a great relationship. Yesterday the same old thing has happened. She asks us to have him at short notice I inform her we are out for the day and then I get abuse telling us to stay away and not to get in touch again. This time I have had enough not only for my own sanity but for my Grandson who is now realising what is happening. I feel that I cannot allow this to happen again and feel literally like cutting them out of my life as I cannot deal with her nasty and abusive nature any longer. My son sides with her as they both feel we should do more childcare wise but that is hard when we both work full time and neither of them work at all! Any advice and a bit support as I really am at my wits end. Thank you
