    Please tell us the real reason you and any other family members are not allowed to see her.

    Has there been a family upset or feud in the past?

    Everyone, including my deceased mother felt that I was my grandparents favorite grandchild to begin with. My grandmother has one child left out of seven. She filed for guardianship and put my name and other grandchildren name on the court documents. Who she thought might contest the guardianship. The emergency contact is upset because me and the other grandchildren agreed w/ our aunt.

    So file in court to be allowed to visit ?

    Call the company that hires the care giver and go speak to one of the managers.

    Thanks, everybody. This is very difficult for me because she raised me from a baby.
