I do not get to see my granddaughter
My son and daughter-in-law were married last year. My sister and I helped a lot with the wedding (footing the bill for everything we did). This should have shown my daughter-in-law she was welcomed into the family. She became pregnant and that is when the problems began. Here is a time line:
Finds out they are pregnant tells family
Has three false labors and we come to all three (for one I drove my son to meet her at the hospital)
They plan to induce and I am told deliberately the wrong time to be at the hospital (my son then calls me and says come on they are there)
I am told not to come to the house the day they get home from the hospital, they want a private homecoming. Been there, done that so I abide by their wishes, only to find out that message was just for me everyone else can come over. There are four sets of parents: her mother and new husband, her father, my husband and me (the mother) and my ex-husband and his wife.
The baby was born in April and I have seen the baby for a total of 7 times with not one visit lasting longer than 1 hour.
They did not call or answer my calls on Mother's Day, Halloween, my birthday and now Christmas.
When I talk to my son he says he is sorry and promises it will get better, but it only gets worse.
Do I ignore them like they do me? I am missing bonding time with my 1 and only grandchild.
Thank you for any advice.
