It may be hard, tell your daughter the truth in the timeline it exists, she can then make her mind up herself. You can only do so much, it has to be your daughter that has to come round to the realty. She needs to know the truth as it happens. Good luck with everything xx

Why didn't your Daughter believe you? She must care or she wouldn't have bothered to come and see you and annoyed that you didn't text her. She's most probably said this in the heat of the moment, as people do, and will come round I'm sure. Why not phone her and ask to talk to your Grandson in the meantime on his Birthday. Can appreciate how you must be feeling and must be very hard. Also, try and spend a bit of time with your Neighbours if you can and take your mind off it a little bit. I hope everything turns out ok for you x

Hi, you might like to join the Gransnet site, they have a very supportive forum for estranged Grandparents.

Devastating for you.My son didn`t take any notice of my HF and COPD even when I was on steroids so I ordered free literature from Heart Matters and gave it to him to read.Sometimes it can be partly due to ignorance as we all look quite well most of the time.Hope your daughter comes round as did my son.Very best wishes xx
