Ask Amy: Surprise pregnancy leaves gran in a family’s way
Your son is this baby’s father. If he wants you to see the baby, perhaps he can bring the child to your house for a visit.
Frankly, from the tone of your question, it sounds as if you might have met your match with this woman your son has chosen to have a family with.
You obviously need help to cope with your frustration and anger over this. Therapy and/or medication might help you.
Dear Amy: My brother divorced his first wife “Marcia” almost 10 years ago. Since then, he has remarried a wonderful woman that my family adores.
The problem is that my former sister-in-law keeps insisting on showing up for family events, which makes these celebrations extremely awkward.
Even her own children recognize how uncomfortable her presence makes everyone.
I won't mind being the "bad guy" and telling her that she is not welcome at family events, but I don't want to cause an ugly scene.
How can I diplomatically (but firmly) tell her to butt out?
I’d appreciate suggestions.
