On February 9th my daughter and her husband posted a picture of my then 18 month-old granddaughter holding an assault rifle with the clip in it on facebook. I immediately posted that she should remove it because of my fear that DFACS could possibly see it. I also thought that it was very inappropriate. She immediately unfriended me and my entire family from facebook. I have repeatedly called, left messages, texted etc with NO reponse. I have heard that she is not interested in any further contact with me. I believe her husband has a lot to do with this. He has never liked me as I objected to their relationship when my daughter was 15.

I pray everyday that this will be resolved. I miss my daughter and my grandchildren terribly. I believe God will use this for His glory and I know that He is here with me through this.

Missing, This is so difficult for you. It seems that married children do not want to listen and learn from our wisdom. They want to do things their way. Our single ED was like that before she left home at age 20. As you said it could have a lot to do with your SIL. You did the right thing by reaching out to your ED. Could you call and ask if you could get together just the two of you? The most we can do is pray that God will speak to the hearts of our EC.

Welcome here and God bless you.

I have tried. She will not answer the phone, return messages, answer texts, nothing. I just keep trying.

Missing, In my humble opinion, you have reached out to ED, a lot. It is hard to wait. Sometimes the only thing we can do is pray. God is the only one who can change our EC.

Missing - don't call or text any more. Let them wonder why they aren't hearing from you. Then let them try to text you and don't respond - maybe if these EC get a bit of their behavior given back to them, they will rethink their childish behaviors.

I was always told growing up..."Dont lower yourself to their standards"...meaning you act better than "they" will act better I guess...at least that is what I thought it meant.

I think that the world is topsy turvy now and since childish is all "they' understand...perhaps Norske is right we need to play "the game if you will" at the only level they seem to understand.

At least that is my answer to my estranged daughter...if she wants silence...she gets it back
If she wants secrets and no communiction with family...than that is what she gets from me I will tell her nothing even thru a mutual friend
If she wants no contact...cards...holidays etc., then that is what she gets...nothing from me either
If she wants to act like she has a new family then she can wonder if I just might be doing the same thing
If she wants to rewrite history etc...well I WONT DO THAT as I cherish my good memories...they are mine and she cannot tarnish those by her words.

Simply put...if all the understand is the childish game "Go Fish" and I am playing by Monopoly rules then we will never find any common ground and of course they also think they are winning "Go Fish" so I can play Go Fish also...maybe she forgot that...hmmmmm
