[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They are probably trying to be hallmark card because they don't know you'll see it that way. You need to be clear what you need from them - an open acknowledgement and apology. They may think this would dredge things up you'd rather not. They may think you'd rather hear that in person or live. I am a mom with kids just a few years ahead of yours, so not a grandparent, and I don't have easy relationships with the grandparents of my children, so not biased by that, but even I think not letting them see their grandchild is unspeakably cruel if they are trying to reach out. You are being emotionally immature. Grow up and give your child a sliver of opportunity to have a relationship with their grandparents. [/quote]
Honestly if the OP is planning on calling the cops, I think it's fine for the parents to just apologize generally for any past wrongs and move on. Why would someone want to hash out old wounds with someone ready to litigate at a moment's notice?[/quote]
