About 9 months ago DH and I had a massive falling out with MIL over something petty that immediately resulted in her refusing to see DD. DD has a half sister who has an amazing relationship with MIL and despite OH feeling she shouldn't be able to see one and ignore the other, his ex made it clear she will always facilitate a relationship there so he decided it was not in DSD's best interest to cause problems there. I agree as she is 7 and it would be more harmful to her.
It's DD's first birthday coming up and DSD told us yesterday that she was talking about her party the other day to which MIL responded that she doesn't care and that DD is not her grandchild. Obviously this has led DSD to very confused so we have said MIL has chosen not to be part of DD's life but loves DSD dearly and will always remain a part of her life.
but as a mum it breaks my heart to hear my DD being spoken about like that, but her own family. I'm trying to get my head around the fact that they continually post on facebook about how she only has two grand children (she has three) and wrote a lot of nasty emails about how she wants nothing to do with DD.
It's been making me thingk about a couple of years time when DD is aware and I have to be the one to explain why her grandma loves her sister but not her. What the hell am I supposed to do?
