- Do any of you single parents out there have words of wisdom for getting
- along with your ex in-laws? I'm sure most divorced people just lose
- touch as quickly as possible, but since their grandchild is involved,
- I'm not sure that's a good idea. My ex has no visitation, so any contact
- would have to be through me. They've never seen the baby (sixteen months
- old) and have told me that they won't seek any contact if I ask them not
- to. I haven't had the heart to tell them to go away, but I also haven't
- had the heart to answer any of their letters. Attempts at talking on the
- telephone haven't gone well. And so this is just dragging on in limbo
- for months and months. Any single parents manage to foster a good
- relationship between their kids and the grandparents?
