[quote=Anonymous]Why are they so bitter? OP, maybe DH can write them an email explaining that while they'll always be the grandparents, the more people and love in your baby's life, the better. You don't want to be put in the middle, and you don't want your baby put in the middle, of emotions that weren't your doing or your battle, and you hope they can put that stuff behind them for the sake of the baby. Thanks for understanding, and DH will call tomorrow (or whatever specific day) to follow up. Let them read the email and then DH calls them after a day or two. This is their baggage, and you guys have to stop letting them make it yours. If they're nutty and bitter enough to withhold contact for long stretches, there's nothing you can do. You can't let them hold you hostage. And I'm betting they'll be interested enough in the baby not to give the silent treatment for long. Let us know what happens. Good luck![/quote]
