Sorry no one has responded, but I think it is the right thing to do. No offense meant here, but your son sounds almost as bad as your dil and her misinformed brood. I hope your son comes around soon and more than anything I pray you get the time with your GD that you deserve. May I ask, why did her mom agree to let her move in with her dad and the wicked stepmother?

Sorry I have been away for awhile. I was wondering the same thing about your GD's mother. Why is she now living with her dad? I also agree that you need to go to court as well. Good luck to you!! I hope everything works out well.

Now that I look at the picture, I think her mother has decided to have her freedom. She has 4 other children, from college age to age 15. The youngest daughter, age 17, basically raised my granddaugher, but has moved out, due to a dispute with her mother. The mother has a new boyfriend, and I feel like she is using this time for herself, enjoying no young children at home to be responsible for.

I plan to send the children halloween bags, and also plan to send my son a letter. Hopefully he will read it and decide they have been unfair and have blown this situation out of proportion, but I seriously doubt he will.

I wish he would realize that his wife has completely alienated me and my whole side of the family. I wish he would realize this is not a normal way to treat family members. I thank God everyday my parents taught me values and respect for others and that life is hard sometimes, we don't always get our way.
