~I would like to ask for God's help with the hurt and bitterness I'm feeling today. There's a special event that goes on this weekend that we took our granddaughter to last year, and this year her Mom asked if we wanted to take her 16-month-old brother out for the first time with us, which is her and her boyfriend's son and I said sure, and I was all excited. I had talked about it for weeks.
~ Then yesterday she sent me a message saying she forgot that her boyfriend's Mom and Dad wanted them to come to lunch and wanted the kids overnight, and it's a 1 1/2 drive for them now. So I messaged her back and all I said was I was disappointed but hopefully we can see our granddaughter the next Sat. I have off and her response was "well I guess we'll just have to change our plans then", but I know I would never hear the end of it, so my comeback always is don't ever change our plans for us. Then she said they wanted the kids overnight to give her a break because she has not been feeling well. That's fine so why didn't she say that in the first place. Last week we could only have our granddaughter for 2 hours for our family reunion, because they were going to her boyfriend's parents for his Dad's birthday.
~ Just a little background, our son has not been in his daughter's life now for over 2 years not by his choosing, but by the measures she took to keep him out of her life. So my husband and I went to court for grandparent rights which to this day she still doesn't know why we even had to go in the first place, but for us it was always so we'd be in her life. So because our son lives with us our granddaughter has not been to our house for a visit or an overnight since she was 5 months old and she's 2 1/2 years old now. The one time I did ask her if our son were to ever move out then our granddaughter could come to our house again and her response was "I guess we'll just have to go to court again then." So we have to find things to do with our granddaughter when we do take her out once a week, and our Sat. so today would have been perfect, and she has been pretty flexible with visits, because we are only supposed to have 1 Sat. a month but lately, I've been feeling like a dog, and we just get the scraps.
~I often see on here where people get frustrated when their prayers don't get answered right away, well I've been praying for over 2 years that God would soften her heart where our son is concerned, and also for her salvation, but we are still waiting but I'm never going to give up.
~ My friends always tell me they don't know how I do it and that I'm (way too nice) to her, thus my name on here. I do still love my X DIL because of God's love first, and second for our granddaughter's sake, and I don't really like to talk about her, but for this particular request I felt I needed to. May God continue to help me as he has, to accept the things I cannot change. Today's just been a little harder than others and it's such a gorgeous day out, but this isn't the first time we took a back seat and I know it certainly won't be the last. Thank You to anyone who took the time out of your day to read my long entry. May God always bless you and yours.
