[quote=Anonymous]I agree with the posters above.

If she won't return your calls, she has already cut you off.  Who is to say she will even take the call?  Calling her with the intent of hurting her will not make things better and will close the door if you ever later want to let her back in your life.  Just let things go, mourn the relationship knowing you may never connect again, and then you can set the terms if she ever decides she wants back into your life or your child's.

If she does, don't put yourself in a position where you can be hurt or taken advantage of (she can visit on your terms, don't fly down, don't lend her money, etc.).

If she doesn't reach out, then it is probably best for your daughter that her grandmother is not in her life.  You can be the mother that you wanted and while it is not fair, your daughter will probably not notice that she is missing (and is better off not not have someone that toxic in her life that can cause the rejection you feel right now).[/quote]
