[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve never understood why some people demand apologies from people. She’s not sorry. That’s why she’s not apologizing.   It’s that simple.  Maybe she doesn’t like you.

But I think you were wrong to cut off access to the grandkids.  Did she do anything to them? It’s too late for that now but I feel it’s always wrong to put kids in the middle.

I do not speak to my SIL for something that happened between us.  I would NEVER try to prevent my kids from having a relationship with their aunt.  I don’t speak bad of her to them.  They are teens now and can text her and visit her without me. [/quote]
Grandparent relationships don’t exist in a vacuum. They grow out of, and depend on, a healthy, respectful relationship with the parents. When that foundation isn’t there, you can’t just step around it and expect everything else to function normally.

This isn’t about punishment or keeping anyone “in the middle.” It’s about boundaries and stability. Children shouldn’t be asked to maintain close relationships in situations where the adults involved don’t have mutual trust and respect. The health of the parent relationship sets the tone for everything else.[/quote]
