My partners mother has become very distant. We haven’t seen her in nearly 8 months. Whenever we invite her to our family gatherings she makes excuses not to come, we have three children (her only grandchildren) and she hasn’t seen or called them. She travels 45 mins to our town to see her other son? There hasn’t been any kind of conflict or fall out… The kids ask where she is and when she will come. Do my kids need to have her in their life, is it her loss or is it our responsibility to act?..
I’m going through this too. Tell her how u feel. Tell her how the kids ask about her. Her response will tell you if you need to wipe her out of the picture. My mother doesn’t care about my feelings so I wiped her out of our lives. She never takes the time to call or visit but takes the time to visit my sisters new baby, post pictures, comments on her posts but not mine. She makes excuses and makes me look like the bad guy everytime i voice my feelings. It was for the best.

Id say it was her loss if you haven’t done anything and you have tried its on her to return it
