My poor MIL

My MIL is the sweetest woman imaginable. Just simply precious! She is filled with nothing but thoughtfulness and kindness.

SS has been ignoring her since September too. His grandma, who has done nothing but show up to baseball, football, basketball games. Goes to all his band concerts. (Keep in mind she lives over an hour away and is a 65 yr old widow). She sends him cards, presents for holiday's-- she checks all the grandma duty boxes and then some! I mean she even makes these special handmade quilts for all the kids and special birthday pillowcases. She is just the best MIL and grandma (Don't tell my mom I said that!!).

MIL called yesterday and just jumped right into how hurt she is. Then she cried. My heart just breaks for her. She did nothing wrong. Not that DH or I did either. However, cutting off Grandma is just so cruel. 

 

Side note- We have now sent 3 requests for confirmation of travel arrangements since we are 8 weeks out from vacation. BM still hasn't responded. DH gave her today as the cut off that we need to know, tomorrow he is going to send the forward of all the requests to the GAL and cc BM on it stating how she refuses to co-parent and even communicate for court ordered visitation. We still haven't booked a flight just because the prices still suck and they haven't changed in the last 4 months. So, no point in purchasing until we have confirmation that he will be on the plane.

I think you just described my MIL, 65 year old widow goes above and beyond for all 11 of her grandkids and SD16 treats her like crap like she is entitled to everything that everyone does for her.

Sounds like BM is a real piece of work. And manipulated SS. I dont know what you do about it.  What is her angle on having SS disgnosed with something he doesnt have? Money? Attention?

We believe the end game is disability. She has SOOOOO many doctors for SS. When one doesn't give her what she wants she just keeps shopping. Since DH is military the insurance just keeps paying out. She lives on disability, she got her daughter on disability (19 yrs old), so it only makes sense that SS work his way into it too- afterall alimony finally ended last year.

My DH's family hasn't seen or spoken to SS19 for over 4 years. Welcome to the world of Parental Alienation.
