[QUOTE="theblindleading, post: 663031, member: 19383"] I think you would ultimately regret kicking your daughter out. Based on her concern for her daughter's well being over her own during the delivery, I'd hazard a guess that she does love her, but is suffering from depression and feels overwhelmed by the responsibility. Because you talked her out of an abortion, she probably feels that you should bear much of this responsibility, so she's passed much of it off to you. But it has to hurt her to see the bond that you have with her daughter, and which she doesn't have. Think of it from her perspective. Her mother dotes on this cute little toddler, and resents her. And this cute little toddler, who should (at this age at least) love her more than anything in the whole world, loves grandma more. That hurts. And sure, her actions have contributed to the creation of this dynamic, but it's still painful, and really hard to break out of. Family counseling may be helpful if she's willing to go. [/QUOTE]
