[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’d say “Mom, I just don’t get along with them and I know the feeling is mutual and I’ve never really considered them to be part of my family. I’d like to spend more time with you and SF.” She won’t like it but she either has to accept it or lose out on seeing you and her grandchild. [/quote] See, that's the kind of thing that gets ACODs shamed and belittled and accused of being too emotional, sad, hung up on the divorce, etc. If you haven't experienced it you really wouldn't understand, but divorced people are very defensive of their choices and cling very, very hard to their imaginary happy family and react with anger when challenged. There are really no words polite or tactful enough to get this message across without negative consequences. And many ACOD aren't willing to deny their child time with grandparents. It's bad enough that the grandchild is already getting less time due to the divorce.[/quote]
