***EDITED VERSION***
She says she wants us to treat her own children like our grandchildren, yet we have never been invited to any birthday parties for them. They have maternal grandparents who are involved in their lives; we are OK just being family. She resents me for saying I didn't want my son to get married again, blending his 3 and her 4, but I never said he should not marry her.
I had hoped he would take the time to put his own daughter first for a while. His daughter is now 17. She and I are very close, and I have always been the one constant person in her life. My son has a habit of marrying women with children and putting those children first. I watched as things started to go wrong, talked to my son, but it did no good. His daughter/my granddaughter went back to live with her biological mom and it's the happiest she has been in 2 years.
My son and his wife are now having a baby, a reminder we have not done anything with them as a family in a year. We live 15 min. apart and have not been invited to one thing. I have 3 grandchildren whom I brag about and love, but my son's wife feels I am being mean because I don't include her children as my grandchildren, yet she never mentions my son's daughter/my granddaughter as a part of their family when she post things on Facebook that are going on in their lives.
Despite that, I am the bad guy. This girl is her husband's who lived with them for over a year and during that time the wife never mentioned her. I have tried to fix this, reached out in various ways, but nothing. On Thanksgiving, she posted, then deleted me as a friend two months after they married when I gave a supportive reply about being a great parent when you are doing what they want and a mean one when you make them do homework. I posted, "Yes, that's the joys of being a parent." She went nuts.. so anything I have posted from that day she only sees by reading my son's FB page.
On Thanksgiving, she made a video with the caption, "This is how I told our family and loved ones we are expecting," [unintelligible--now a were not their not was his daughter who was to be there in an hour] That is how I found out I was to be a grams again, and yet I am the one causing problems. Sorry, but this was just mean--not just to me but to my granddaughter and daughter, and she did it knowing that's how I would find out.
Anyway, so my son called and said he wants it all to stop because I am always upsetting her Not sure where this is going to end up, but I know I will not be a big part in this child's life. The wife will not allow it no matter what I do. She doesn't think she is unreasonable for any of the problems. No matter what I say or post, she finds something to get upset about. I feel bad for my son but he is part of the problem.
When I saw the video on Facebook, I sent him a message that we needed to meet and talk all this out to move forward, but I got no response until yesterday. He was pissed again, said he wanted to get past this crap. I said fine but she needs to be here or nothing will get resolved because she is the one who has the issues with me. Well, that was yesterday and I have heard nothing.
