I feel guilty that my beautiful almost 9 month old son misses out on having grandparents. If they were passed away it wouldn't be a problem but they are all living. Both DH's parents displayed some terrible behaviour before estranging themselves so easily because we didn't sing to their tune; they saw DS once when he was 2 weeks old. He is their only grandchild. DH's only brother hasn't once seen DS and has also estranged himself over no reason whatsoever: just no contact and hadn't bothered. It's unbelievable really.
My Mother saw DS a small handful of times until he was 4/5 months old showing no support to me or DH and has been estranged since due to her toxic behaviour.
My dad suffers from mental health problems and isn't able to be fully supportive but does see DS maybe once a month. My brother sees DS probably once very 1-2 months.
We have no other family apart from distant relatives. DS has no cousins and is only grandchild on both sides. It breaks my heart that they have all acted so appallingly. I am struggling to understand their behaviour and the fact they really don't care about my son. It make me so upset to think they don't want to get to know this beautiful little boy. My heart breaks for DS and I hate seeing happy families with tons of support when we have nobody....
