I really miss my Nan and want to contact her but I am finding it really difficult :(
She left her hubby last year and we all rallied around to look after her - visited often as we could and phoned everyday to make sure she was ok -did her shopping and made sure we were there when she was feeling depressed and low .
She decided to go back to her hubby in March of this year and although we wanted nothing to do with him we still wanted to maintain contact with Nan.
The problem is that we cannot get to speak to her. She is virtually bedridden now and so of course its him that answers the phone all the time. When we ask to speak to Nan he just goes off into what bad grandchildren we are etc and so we never get to speak to her . He used to tell her we werent interested in her and horrible things like that. :(
I am pretty sure that if we write she is not getting the letters and I really want to speak to her .
How do we get through to her - does anyone have any ideas ???
I really love and miss my nan and would hate anything to happen to her ( she's in her 80's) without being given the chance to speak to her and tell her I love her . I would hate her to believe hubby when he says we dont care :(

Hi lel

Do everything you can to get in touch - go round and bang on the door if you have to - because if anything were to happen (god forbid) it would be on your mind and you would feel guilty (through no fault of your own). Ring her up and tell him to put her on the phone and wind his neck in, and if he doesn't - go round and bang on the door and the window till he lets you in.

Good luck and keep us posted :)

Lel,

Aww thats sad :(
Dont give up.. keep trying!
I wish you luck x

Does she listen to the radio any particular show? get a dedication on the radio for her.

Good luck though,

christmas is comming send her a virgin mob or sim in mabe even a older modle fone as it will be bigger for nan that way she hasent got to top it up ;) and can have it next to her :D u can talk to nan for hours then .

Bury the hatchette with her husband, even if you dont mean it.  If it means getting to see you nan you should do everything in your power.  My nan is in hospital with only days maybe hours left, I wish I had spent more time with her over the last couple of years and im desperately trying to make up for it now before its too late. :(

Is there a family mediation in your area?
They would contact your grandparents on your behalf and try and come to some amicable agreement that would hopefully let you get to see your nan.
Please let us know how you get on.
Kind regards,
Linda

Thanks everyone :D
Certanly some good ideas there :)
