You rec'd great advice from Gayle and Diana. They have more experience in this than I...I have no grandchildren yet. I hope you and your son are close enough that you can speak with him one on one without him telling his wife everything that was said. He needs to keep on top of this for his daughter's sake.

I'm so sorry that you live so far away - but maybe you can arrange for her to visit over Christmas and summer vacations. I think that time with you can help with any problems that she may have. Your idea about being able to talk with her and letting her know she can talk to you is very important. I like the idea of the surprise visit too. I think you are doing everything you possibly can. Good luck!

Hey Maggie! Welcome to YT!
I'm so sorry you're having a hard time with your dil. I know you must be sick with worry about your granddaughter. Maybe you can call and talk to her every few days...or maybe you should just go get her and KEEP her!! Sorry, I know that doesn't help, but it might be worth it

Maggie - does your son's household have a computer? If so, maybe you could have him set up a webcam so you and your granddaughter could see each other and "talk" on an instant messaging system, like yahoo. I do that with my 12 year old granddaughter who lives 12 miles from me!!! I know your granddaughter may not know how to type on the computer yet, but she will learn FAST, if she doesn't already know.

Great idea Gayle!!
You could set up Skype and a webcam so you could see and talk to her at the same time...then she doesn't have to type

Thanks everyone for your support, I appreciate it so much!
I did get Iz a web cam before she left and we downloaded it into there computer, I web cammed tonight for about an hour, she was a lil sad, her mama was to come get her for the night and did not show up, typical, thats why my son has custody.....she has already had so much dissappointment in her lil life, thats why I want NO MORE! I had Iz for 6 weeks this past summer, so that was fantatic, and we will continually do that each summer. I am hoping my son took heed in what I said, it has been just him and Iz since she was 2, and he adores her, I know if he sees anything he will be on it, it is the not seeing I worry about, ya know? |
