Her Mom was negected/abused by her Mom (which is my friends Grandma). The Grandma was kept away from my friend and her family for most of my friend's childhood. Mainly because my friend's parents thought Grandma had a distructive personality, multiple marriages, disliked my friends Mom and started a lot of drama and was trying to break up her parent's marriage.
Fast forward ten years. Now my friend is an adult. Grandma is a recent widow. Grandma has become very rich, lives in a mansion and travels the globe. My friend has decided to reconnect with Grandma. Of course, Grandma has offered to take her on cruises, buy her things, etc. My friend's parents still want nothing to do with the Grandma. Actually, it is hurting her Mom and her Mom told her to be careful because she thinks Grandma is doing this mainly to hurt her daughter.
Is she doing the right thing? Is this going to ruin her relationship with her Mom over time? My friend is confused and feeling like she is betraying her Mom. She has asked me what I think she should do.
Sometimes...time is the thing that heals the person. Grandma, may now realize the error of her ways, and I understand the grandaughter wanting a relationship with her. Her mother may be just in how she feels, but maybe, just maybe, they all can work things out. Caution is always good, no matter what, IMO.
