sounds to me like they were trying to hurt her. I don't know any grandmother who wouldn't remember their grandchildren.

favorites, sure, but to completely not remember even when you've gotten christmas cards and school pictures.

Yeah, I dunno what was going on there. I really just don't get it. It's so petty. My SIL can carry a grudge like WHOA, but they did apparently say some hurtful things to her for reasons I don't fully understand back when T was born. I know she had to swallow a lot of bile to try again, but sorry it slapped her in the face. At least she made an effort to be a grown up.
They have had no contact with the grandsons in 2 years. Never even met T. Don't even acknowledge them. This after D spent weeks at a time with them before this. The boys don't know about the drama. I.don't.get.it.
eta: she heard her brother had an accident thirdhand (she's in contact with him) and called to find out if he was ok, and generally extend a hand and a holiday invite, which was rebuffed.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Or else your packing would get really interesting!
Tee hee.
Jesse, good luck packing. Once I know I'm healthy (or not, or whatever....just a fricking answer would be nice, please), we'll have to have drinks in Boston.
Yes, please!

Seriously.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Don't even acknowledge them.
Oh, that's cold. Does she want my mother? She'd kill for grandchildren and would appreciate them properly. I'd totally share.
