Lou,

I'm glad to hear that you went to see your D and GKs. Since when does a dad/grandpa need an invitation to see his daughter/grandkids? That makes no sense to me at all.

If you want to visit them then visit them! And tell BB that you did! It's too bad if she doesn't like it. Just because she doesn't want to see them doesn't mean you can't or shouldn't. You are allowed to have your own R with your daughter and grandkids.

I think it's so sad that families become estranged because of stubborn pride and foolishness. Life is just way too short. I have seen it happen in my family and cac's and I just don't get it.

Your BB is one unhappy woman, and it's not because of you, Lou. Sure, you may be enabling her behavior, but you are not causing her to be unhappy. She is.
