[QUOTE="Marcie Mac, post: 109412, member: 47"] "I have kept my distance from her very very hyper daughter and only see her for very short visits. I don't even have them for dinner. I smile, wave, hug.." Thats so sad DDD - I do the same thing right now - its not a case of being worried I will have to raise them but more of a case of emotional blackmail - If she gets po'd at me, then its "you will never see your grandchildren again". Why put the kids thru all of that emotional crappola of now you have grandparents, now you don't constantly. Natie only in the past year or so really got to know his father, and she won't let Wyatts dad or his parents see him, even went so far as to change his name. Same thing will happen with the new baby am sure when its daddy does something to make her mad. When things went sour with my kid's dad's and I relationships, I always tried to keep the connection going with their fathers as long as I could. I suffered a disconnect with my family and realized the importance of having close family ties when I was older. I don't know where she learned this particular power trip of holding children over everyones head if she gets in a snit. Ah well, no sense in bemoaning the fact. Mine is crawling up on 40 and isn't going to change anytime soon. I have realized the harsh reality that she only pulls out the "my family" card when she is in dire straights - when she isn't we are religated to the back shelf with no second thoughts again till next time.
