(((((((Es)))))) So sorry hun. With any luck they might come around in time. My mom is past all the emotional blackmail ( for the most part ) and will call to chat from time time. (No mention of meetings/memorials/JW stuff) It took a lot of time and a very emotional breakdown on the phone one day over what the shunning was doing to me to get here. I think she needed to hear that "I was never coming back and how could she treat me this way?!" to do it. It's not fair to you or to Blake.

Es - Is this a feasible idea? How about putting them on the back foot? What about sending them a txt or ringing or email saying that you don't appreciate them telling other JWs and family members that they miss your child. That they have made the choice to distance themselves. That you have no objection to them visiting and having a normal relationship with their grandchild. To stop giving out the pretence that they are being deprived of the relationship and admit that they have made this choice.

Can you communicate with your father? Are your parents united in their decision.....as from reading this it seems to be your Mum that is the 'problem'.

hey midwich its usually my mum who gets lumbered with doing all the bad stuff like emailing me they cant be seen with us in public etc....but really its all my dads words. My dad (elder) is def the decision maker and whether it is right or wrong my mum goes along.
I think if my dad was not around my mum would be a happier person all round
