[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You ARE overreacting. It sounds like you need to take a deep breath and just let go already. This woman is your child's grandmother. Work to forgive little issues like passive-aggressive comments (so not a big deal) and build a good relationship.[/quote]

She's easily offended and very insecure. You may be able to help that and reduce the passive aggressive behavior by trying to establish a positive and healthy relationship in which you show her you want her as part of your life and value her. If that doesn't work, just ignore her silly behavior. It's not worth holding on to in this manner.[/quote]

Dude, if letting things go were that simple, everyone would let everything go, wouldn't they??  I'm asking how.  Right now I don't want a positive relationship with her.  Is there anything that someone can say to help me get there?  Calling me an awful person isn't really going to help, just going to push me farther in the other direction.

I realize that most DCUMers don't ACTUALLY want to help btw, but every now and then someone comes out and tries :)[/quote]

Most people who post here don't ACTUALLY want to hear the truth or want help, they want to have their feelings validated.  You ARE overreacting, in addition to being just plain silly.  It was 2 yrs ago, you're making a big deal of NOTHING, and you are blaming the wrong person. Good grief.[/quote]

I don't think that characterization of me is fair - I am just letting you all know that without the "how," "just move on" isn't helpful.  Some people have come through with the how, which is helpful.[/quote]
