ANSWERS: 3
  • as the grandparent, i think you have some right to care about the child and want to send them gifts. if you are ok with not sending the child gifts, then you dont have to, but if you want to keep in contact with the child, i think that the mother should appreciate the gifts and cards you send to your grandchild.
  • In that situation I would pen a letter to my estranged daughter-in law. I would offer her my heart-felt aologies for how wrong my son had been to hurt her. I would ask that she realize that I was not going to offer up a defense for his behavior or try and change her mind. I would also tell her that I want to have a relationship with the child seperate of this mess. If you don't think you can really do that seperation then I would comply with her wishes.
  • Inocuous letters gifts and cards would be totally accpetable in my book. If its only for the kid, and you aren't intruding on the mothers life, or choices. Soon I would hope she would see your intentions and let the child visit the loving grandparents.
