[QUOTE="totoro, post: 308684, member: 3155"] I think sometimes people just don't like each other. You may never get along with daughter in law, she may never like you no matter how much you give in to her, even if you were to do everything she wanted. Some people are just oil and vinegar. It doesn't make it right or wrong, it just is. I think you have said this before but, sometimes families just aren't meant to be around each other. I know he is your Grandson, but maybe you need to step back and let your Son make the decision to either make you a part of his life or not. You should not have to have your life and soul destroyed over another person, despite it being a relative. Maybe in time things will change. Maybe with time your Son once again will want to be a part of your life in a healthy way. This just all seems so toxic. My Daughters will never see my Father again. If it were to happen it would be on neutral ground, at a function. But I doubt that will happen. My Daughters will likely never see my Brother again either. I don't care what either of them thinks. They are Psychotic and have unchecked Mental Illness. It is too unsafe. My mother in law came close to having a very horrible relationship with me. But I am a Momma Bear when it comes to my kids. Over time I let her realize that she wanted and needed those kids more than she needed to fight with me. She also realized that I was right. ;) Reading all of the Doctors reports helped a bit. LOL I also know that as my anger with my mother in law became worse, I also became worse. I started to just not care. I fought with her over dumb things and would not give in to anything. I would hate for you to start spending time with your Son's family but harbor a hatred towards your daughter in law and start to always be angry no matter what it was. This is very easy to do and hard to see when it is happening... I would do as the others say regarding Thanksgiving. Stability is so fragile, you need it for the rest of your family. When I almost had a breakdown over something regarding my mother in law, that was when I had to be done. I owed it to myself and my family. hang in there. [/QUOTE]
