I dont have a mil, but my dp father has never seen his grandaughter who is now 6 1/2 months old. Me and my dp had a rough patch about 2 1/2 years ago and his dad walked in during a row. Nothing to nasty and we soon made it up, however because of this and ever since this he has refused to see me and Im not invited to any famly do's or meals, which when my dp goes to does hurts my feeling. More so because its all over nothing. I did hope that when dd was born he would grow up and come round. We used to get on great before this and often go out for meals and to visit him because he was on his own. It has caused no end of problems between me and dp.It's my dp sisters wedding in feb next year and he wll be going leaving me and dd at home. I have done nothing to his sister but it seems that because his dad doesnt want anything to do with me it' easier for the rest of the family not to either. The only person from his side to meet my dd was his godmother. I have triedt o arrange meting with his dad dp dd and me at a nice pub, but dp said his dad said if I was going tobe there then forget it...... nice and very grown up when I didn't have to back down and could have just been stubbornrefusing to let him see dd. This may sound harsh but with how nasty his dad has been I dont want dd going roung there and meeting him without me as I dont want her dragged up in the middle of this. How canI turn roun to dd and say mummys coming coz grandad doesnt like her. But I also dont want her coming home saying grandad doesnt like you mummy. It's made things very difficult between me and my partner andI feel like he is siding with his dad and doesn't care about my feelings. I think this will end us if it cant be sorted. My parents know all about this and dont treat my dp any different - their no happy about his dads behaviour but know they cant do anything. But just lately dp wont stay in the house when they viit and now refuses to visit them with me and dd. That hurts because they have done nothing to him. None of this is fair on poor dd who should be involved with all of her family. Dp can be so nice and then he will pop to see his dad and come home a different person speaking to me like im nothing and being grumpy, he wont talk to me about it and im at a lost now as this has been going on for to long and I dont want this mess with dd being here. Am I just wasting my time and trying to fix something that cant be fixed.?? What should I do ??Anyone with any advice??? sorry it's so long. XX



What was the argument about as that could have a great deal to do with things?
The one person that can fix it is your other half but he doesn't want to. It doesn't sound like a good relationship to me if he is willing to go to a family wedding with out his partner and dd.
