Dear Queenie,
My husband has a daughter from a previous marriage, but his ex-wife doesn’t ever let their daughter see her father, my husband. She lets the girl visit her grandfather, my husband’s father, but grandpa doesn’t let us know when the girl is with him so we can get to see her too.
Queenie, is there anything we can do about this?—Angry step-mother
Dear Step-mother,
Grandpa probably keeps his granddaughter away from you and your husband because he is afraid that if he lets you see her, her mother will stop letting her spend time with him.
And, if her mother is preventing the child from ever seeing her father, Dad should consult a lawyer about legally arranging visitation.
