I'm an adult with 2 children, my grandparents on one side are very difficult for me to get along with. From as young as I can remember there was always feelings of shame from them. They made it very clear that their love was conditional and I was not worthy. I was a strong willed/difficult child. My mom can confirm this. As an adult I've tried very hard to move past this and foster a relationship, partially for my mom and partially so my kids can know their great grandparents. I am working on understanding that my grandma trying to tell me how to live my life is her way of showing love. My grandpa just seems to dislike me to this day. Any comments he makes towards me are snarky. Referencing any good qualities in my kids as "they must have gotten that from their dad". It's difficult because I want to move forward, get past these feelings and not be triggered or irritated by the comments. Has anyone been through something similar? Any advice? via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2n6BLW4
