so frustrated....

Caught part of Kellys post before she edited it.
I find that terrible how her gps are acting.

I think its so wrong when adults use children in this manner.

Its almost more common/normal these days for families to be made up of children from previous relationships, and have blended families.

My brother is in this situation, and while I was upset at how he treated his ex-wife, its his decision and the children aren't to be used as pawns.

I could imagine my SILs parents behaving like this, as of course they now hate my brother, but he's still their father and his new partner takes the responsbility for helping to raise his kids and hers.

I do think you and your DH need to have a discussion with them, as its not on, the only reason for courts granting visitation is in the best interests of the child, this is clearly not.

Being a grand parent doesn't give you automatic rights!
