My choice to divorce was a reflection on her decision to stay in a dysfunctional marriage or something.
Ah yes, <rubbing my chin philosophically> I see now.
You did not do as she did, you did better.
Sad, but that could be very true.
How would she take it if you said something along those lines.
"Hey! Ole lady (my daughter calls me this when I am actin a little crazy or crying over a rainbow
), what
you did showed ME how to do it better.
I live a better life because of your example.
Your grandchildren are much happier now, and
they love their grandmother.
If I were still married to that man, your relationship with them would be less and less.
(and then distract her with some feat that a grandchild performed recently).
I am just spitballin' here. My mother would have never put my business on facebook or any other social media. She grew up with silence is golden.
Other than no contact until she connects no "no media talk about my daughter" with a relationship with you and her grandchildren, that is all I have.
My mother has been gone for fifteen years now, and boy, I miss her loads.
It's not fair!
I am sorry, even though I pour out my guts and more here, it would bother me to no end if someone else breathed a word of my business.

Hey! I could start up a training camp. You gotta pass to have that relationship with your child and grandchildren! Hand them the tablet, then yank it away, no!
give me pushups! I said no facebook about your relatives.
only friends.
LOL
