[QUOTE="Baggy Bags, post: 728743, member: 22819"] Heartbreaking :cry: Sorry you're going through this. Maybe instead of repeating to your daughter that he was well behaved with you, tell her that he's probably just having a hard time with the transition and that you would like to help him however you can. If she feels that you are judging her, she'll just get defensive. Remind her that you want the best for him and that shutting you out of his life is denying him a relationship that is beneficial for him, and ask her if she really wants to be the only person he can count on. Maybe it helps to tell her that you know she's been through a lot, and that all parents need help from time to time, and that you will follow all her rules if she lets your grandson visit you. I often have issues with my son's relationship to my mom. She spoiled him, defended him when he didn't deserve it, didn't follow our rules... but I always choose for her to be in his life because he doesn't have many other people besides my husband and me, and the more people that love him, the better. Remind her that it takes a village, and that you are there for both of them. I hope you can convince her to let you see him more, without having to resort to a legal battle. [/QUOTE]
