Actually, my brothers wife has made my mom's life a living hell. My mom cannot see her grandchildren anymore, and my brother didn't even call my mom on her birthday this year!
Here's how it went. Brother got married to a girl 10 yrs younger than him. She was a spoiled brat growing up, now she practically 'owns' their 2 kids. She's told my mom never to come around her kids again, and has said some pretty nasty things in emails to me when I've tried to smooth things over (I live 1000km away, luckily).
This girl my brother married is about 25 yrs old now, but acts like she's 16. We think it's not possible for her to realize the pain she's put my mom through, and our fear is that it won't be until my mom is on her death bed that my brother and his wife will realize what they've done.
Does anyone know of any good resources to share with them to show how a younger generation should be more accepting of the older one? It has been like pulling teeth to get the two of them to just open their mind and see the big picture. My brother was a good kid growing up, and has had many nice girlfriends who would have loved to marry him, but he picked the bad apple of the bunch! But now my brother won't return my emails either.
I've had to stop myself from publicly embarrassing them by showing their immature emails to their friends, but it has crossed my mind many times. There may be nothing left I can do, but I'm sure there has got to be other people out there with sad grandparents who aren't allowed to see their grandchildren.
Thanks for reading.
