Dear Queenie,
My daughter just got divorced. Her ex-husband is a nice guy and I like him very much, but she doesn’t want me to have anything to do with him any more.
Queenie, I love my daughter, but I don’t like what she wants me to do. What do you think I should (or should not) do?—Ex-mother-in-law
Dear Ex-mother-in-law,
If your daughter had children with this man he is still their father and you are still their grandmother, so it would be good to maintain a civil relationship with him for the children’s sake. Otherwise, your decision will depend on what your daughter will do if you do not abide by her wishes.
