many thanks

Your family is obviously not considering your feelings placing you in a no win situation, you are going to upset someone so just please yourself.

If your grandchild can turn his back on his mother how long will it take him to do that to his wife? You can't solve that problem if it becomes one but you have to do what you feel best right at this moment. If I were to tell you that you can't go how would you feel? If the answer is uneasy or sad then go. If the answer was grateful, then don't go. In the end it will be the right answer. You cannot waste your remaining years trying to please those two generations. As they say,I can't tell you how to be a success but I can't tell you how to be a failure try to please everybody
Don’t let this get to you. You don’t deserve it.
