As I’ve mentioned numerous times, I had my oldest daughter when I was 15. Her father’s family was just cruel to me, saying awful things, doing awful things. They treated me and my family like trash. I haven’t seen them in years and years. Now they are coming to my daughter’s graduation, and they will be stopping by my house for cake. They are incredible snobs. I know they are going to judge me, my family, and my home like they used to when I was growing up. I don’t want them here, but my daughter does. I am so stressed out about this, and it isn’t for another three weeks. I wish I didn’t care what they think, but I know that I am really messed up from everything that happened with them, and I can’t help it. Some wounds just don’t heal.

Has your son gotten a kid pregnant? Or did you teach him not to and why?
You were probably treated badly because they did not want their son to have to pay support.
It has nothing to do with you at all, just money.
I agree that it has a lot to do with money. I grew up in government housing while my daughter’s grandfather is a very well-to-do doctor who specializes in cancer treatment. He makes a buttload of money and thinks that he is better than everyone else. But they manage to make me feel so inadequate. They always have. I hate being judged. Yes, they didn’t want to pay support. Despite the fact that the grandfather is a doctor, they paid me $50/month in child support.

That the grandfather may have had to pay while your daughters bio dad was young, oh, I bet the grandfather was shaking in his shoes for 18 yrs.
More concerned about $ than spending time with a grand daughter. They may have thought you would interfer with their sons life later? Who knows.
But at least it is probably one of the last times you legally have see him or them.
@anon12908646 True. I will have to see them if she gets married or has kids, though. At least I’m not totally fat right now, just a little chunky. They are all a little chunky too, according to my daughter, so I don’t have to feel bad about that.
When her father was younger, his mother made sure he paid child support (such that it was) on time each month. When he went off on his own and got married, he never paid regularly. He was “kind” enough to increase it to $100 once he had a better paying job though. However, after he was 6 months late and I had my electricity cut off, and my church paid to turn it back on, I made the decision to go through the courts for child support. He now pays 4 times as much. He also has to pay for half of all her medical bills. If I had known then what I know now, I would have gone through the state as soon as I gave birth. I wonder how her grandfather would have felt about that…
