To cut a long story short, DH fell out with his mother almost a year ago now. They haven't spoken since, and it was a very petty argument which escalated and some hurtful things were said.
I was pregnant with DS at the time, and roughly a month later I invited MIL to my baby shower. She text my sister to say that she was unable to attend but gave no reason for this. Fast forward to the birth of DS, and there had still been no contact... WIBU to have expected a message of congratulations?!
DS is now almost 5 months old & we are currently planning our wedding. Just received an RSVP saying that she will not attend. I know that it has been a long time without contact, but I feel like we have made the first move by sending the invite... surely I'm not the only one who things this is just awful?! DH was gutted when he read the RSVP in the post. No matter what has happened i just can't understand a mother declining an invitation to her own sons wedding?? It was an opportunity she could've taken to patch things up?
Anyway... Because of this, I have poured my heart out in a message to her (slightly rude and ranting, but mainly asking why she has not made any effort with her grandson, nor spoken to me for so long...) She fell out with DH not me, poor DS has nothing to do with it and still deserves a grandmother?!
Also, when DS was merely a few weeks old, I saw her in town and she walked straight past us!!

To think DS is better off without a grandmother like that!
