Looking for advice. I'm in turmoil at the moment because I feel I'm having to choose between my sanity and my granddaughters. My stepson and I no longer talk. In fact I am the last member of the family to make this decision. I love my granddaughters immensely but he is slowly trying to turn them against me which I expected. They will be 5 in June and find it more distressing every time I see them. He is playing mind games with them and I feel if I walk away from them he will no longer be able to use them and they are young enough to recover. He has told them I am not their Gran and he hates me but leaves me to explain to them why. My family and friends have all advised me to walk away as they are suffering and I don't want them to because of me. I just don't know what to do. My head says stop all contact but my heart is breaking. What do I do? No judgement please only advice.
