I feel like crying and it's not about covid-19. A couple of years ago my DD starting dating a guy who she told me was better than being on her own. He is selfish and rude and none of the family like him; as far as we can see he is using her as a friend with benefits. Worse still my DD has become more selfish since being with him. If this was all I would just let her get on with it and hope that before long she would wake up and smell the coffee, but it's not. DD has a daughter that we have responsibility for part of the week so that she can work. Before the relationship DD and DGD were very close but now DGD is pretty much told to just get on with playing 'happy families'. It breaks my heart though when DGD opens up to me about how unhappy she is but Mummy won't listen to her or gets angry. How do I cope with this and move forward.
PS I also had a close and loving relationship with DD before this but not anymore.
