Christmas went well at SD's grandparents!
My BFF and I took P up there yesterday, and it went really, really well! First, his grandmother and I have made up, and I feel a lot better about that. She offered my friend and I spiked eggnog, which I (gladly) took because I was stressed. But we hung out for about an hour and half until P started to lose it because he badly needed a nap.
The only thing that was a little awkward was SD's mom, she still wouldn't speak to me. The took P in the other room to open gifts (which was odd anyways) and so when they were done I was trying to figure out who gave him what so I could send thank-you's. His mom specifically wouldn't answer me when I asked what she got him and his sister had to answer for her. Nice. Then when she was saying good-by to P she said "you don't know me but you will...someday". Like she's going to wait until SD can have him before she will know him. Guess she'll be waiting a LONG time!
But everyone else was GREAT and I actually felt like they were MY family again, even though, obviously that's not true. His grandfather kept hugging me and his grandparents asked if I could bring P up there again and I told them "of course". So I think I'm going to try to do this at least once a month. They are good people I think they just got confused because SD was manipulating them. But I think they are on to him now. It doesn't get much worse than where he is at now, considering that no one saw him on Christmas.
So, all in all, I am very happy that we decided to go, and grateful to my wonderful friend who went along with me!

Re: Christmas went well at SD's grandparents!
I don't think he's in much of communication with any of his family. I think that he is avoiding them because they don't agree with his actions and he's being a coward. He doesn't want to listen to it, therefore he doesn't come around.
I didn't let them know the outcome of court. I wasn't sure what to do about that. It's the right thing, but I am concerned that they would be angry in some way. Esp. his mom, the rest of them might've understood. I know that revoking visitation is the right thing, however, they might not understand why I did it. I did it for P, but they would probably be upset that he doesn't have the ability to see his son, even though he wasn't seeing him anyways. My guess is he won't say a word to them about it. Especially if they aren't on speaking terms anyways.
I'm glad the visit went well with your son and his relatives!
It's pitiful though that SD's mother is acting that way. She needs to just realize that her son is a f up and not let that get in the way of her relationship with her grandbaby (because that's exactly what she's doing).
I was thinking of you and your LO yesterday! I'm glad to hear that overall it indeed went well!
Gosh, I don't blame you a bit. That is just double crossing and no good at all. I would have probably done the same thing if SD's fam had done that to me. It's one thing to be blind to your idiot X and his ways but to try to take her to him without your permission is totally crossing the line.
