The move was about 3ish months after my ex died over the summer so the kids could finish school not immediate. Before the funeral they hadnt even spoken to their grandparents in over a year. I am not sure if you are not remembering the full story or if maybe you missed some of it.

You didn't even give these people a chance to grieve.

I don't blame her. Your cold behavior with your restraining orders likely did cause her husband's stroke and subsequent death. You've made it so that she will never see her grandchildren and have them completely turned against her.

Everyone is gone. In her spot I don't blame her for not wanting to live.

What you deserve is for your children to grow up, realize what you've done and deprived them of that they'll never be able to get back, and to leave you in the same state you've left this woman in...alone, with no one, kids gone and no access to your grandchildren.

You've taught them all of this time how to treat you. I can't fathom how someone can be so cold.
And them not wanting anything to do with their grandparents has nothing whatsoever to do with you? They haven't listened to you and your words and your feelings on them? Kids just randomly can't stand their grandparents organically, for no reason, without any outside influence?

I have a hard time understanding how that would just happen unless there was prior abuse or something of that nature.
They always were able to form their own thoughts and opinions. Imagine the grandparents you barely knew threatening to take you away from your mom, saying you can't move and do what you want, and then them taking your mom to court trying to say she was unfit. Would you honestly like someone after that?

Then they also harassed and stalked them after they lost in court. Would you like them after that?

They were never close in the first place. My kids have never fully like them. My ex wasn't even close with his parents

Kids can not like their grandparents for all kinds of reasons. In this case, the grandparents were not around much. They only saw them on holidays or a few times a year. I think to build a close grandparent/grandchild relationship you need to see them way more than that.

Also kids will dislike their grandparents based on how the grandparent treats them when they are together. If the grandparent is too strict or not fun the kid will lose interest. I have seen it happen with my own kids. MIL would come over and just sit on the couch and talk to DH. The kids would get bored and wander away. She was not paying attention to them.

Kids are also not stupid. They see the way grandparents treat their beloved parent and if they are not being nice to their parent-kids will pick up on that and that colors their view. These kids are old enough to be mad about all the crap they are putting their mother through.

Actions have consequences. Relationships don't just magically happen.

I wouldn't.

I used to be the type that bent over backwards to keep families in tact but I did it at the expense of my own emotional well-being and that impacted my children. As someone that has had an ex (and the father of my children) use suicide as a manipulation tactic to get his way, I'd keep my children far away from her. It broke my heart to keep my children from their father and while he had no intention to actually harm himself, that kind of behavior and thinking is something a mentally ill person does and mentally ill people are not stable. It is my responsibility-and your responsibility-as a mother to give your children stability even if you have to make hard, no-win choices.

It does not matter what drove her to this. Whether it was because you "ripped" her last connection to her son away from her or you acted in a way that was cold. It just doesn't matter at this point. All that matters is your kids and if she is not stable then they should not have to be around her.
“Nevertheless, she persisted.”

Being a grandparent doesn't mean you don't have to work at having a relationship with your grandchildren. From what I remember from earlier posts, these grandparents incorrectly thought they could demand one instead of taking time to build one.

All of this.

I am not sure what you mean by that. People overdose on Tylenol all the time.
No. It will cause you to throw up but as far as overdose it doesn't happen.

Please get the facts before posting something so wrong. You can start by reading the warning label on a bottle of Tylenol.
