AITAH for being in my granddaughter’s life despite my daughter in law?
I’m a 55 year old widowed man, my oldest 32 year old son is a stupid bastard. He has 4 kids with 3 different women, a 14 year old son he had at 18 two daughters a 2 year old toddler and a baby daughter whose a few months old with his wife and another toddler daughter whose a year and a couple of months old that he had from an affair on his wife while she was pregnant with their first daughter.
Yes I know he’s a stupid cheating bastard and I don’t condone that at all and I’d have supported his wife if she chose to divorce him, but she didn’t, she stayed and had yet another baby with him, she’s fine with my grandson but she wants the entire family to act like his other daughter doesn’t exist and I refuse to do that, she’s still my granddaughter affair kid or not, I visited her and her mom in the hospital when she was born, my son wasn’t there, they live less than 30 minutes away from me and I visit her a couple of times a year, her mom doesn’t have a problem with it, I love that little girl just like I love all my grandchildren, I get her presents for her birthday and for Christmas just like I do for everyone else.
My daughter in law hates this and says that my son paying her child support is more than enough and that I shouldn’t show the kids that she’s an equal to them but she is, now I’m not invited to their house and they won’t let me see my granddaughters and it hurts so much. But I still won’t just abandon my other granddaughter because it’s not her fault how she was born, she’s a pretty little doll and she lights up whenever I come visit her which is more now since I can’t visit the others, and I’ve even gotten friends with her mom’s family especially her dad, we like just chilling with our granddaughter.
Am I in the wrong here?
