Her Baby Granddaughter Passed Away After Getting Sick From Her Son’s Kids, And Now She Isn’t Sure How She Could Ever Forgive Him

This 59-year-old woman has two children– a son named Andrew and a daughter named Jenny. But tragically, she claimed that Jenny’s daughter, her granddaughter, passed away due to her son’s “stupidity.”
According to her, the problem stems back to the fact that eight years ago, her son married his wife, Alexis.
And while she noted that she is not a “monster-in-law,” she believed her daughter-in-law was just a nightmare from the start.
“Alexis is anti-science….she is awfully entitled and is sinking all their savings in some MLM scheme,” she explained.
Andrew and Alexis have a 10-year-old son and a 6-year-old daughter, and they don’t believe in treating the kids with modern medicine.
So anyway, about a month ago, her daughter Jenny came over with her baby granddaughter to pick up some belongings. Then, Jenny decided to stay for some coffee and cake.
It is important to note that, right after the COVID-19 pandemic, her son Andrew and his wife, Alexis, moved right across the street from her and her husband. And they believe Andrew did that so he could use them as free childcare.
Regardless, while she was sitting down with Jenny and her granddaughter, her daughter-in-law Alexis rang the doorbell.
And before she even had a chance to say hello, Andrew and Alexis’ kids came barrelling through the door.

Now, she does think that her son’s kids are nice children. Yes, they are sometimes bratty, but she genuinely believes they have hearts of gold and absolutely loves them.
Still, that doesn’t mean she felt safe having her son’s kids around the baby– especially her granddaughter, who was immunocompromised due to a condition that rendered it impossible to get certain childhood vaccinations.
“So I tried to keep things calm, but the kids had run upstairs where Jenny’s baby was sleeping and were cuddling with her,” she recalled.
“I managed to get them to come down. But they had been with the baby for a few minutes.”
Then, a few days later, tragedy struck. Jenny and her fiancé called from the hospital in tears and explained how her granddaughter was running a high fever and could not breathe properly.
After that, she and her husband rushed to the hospital. But the outcome was devastating.
She and her family sat in the hospital for an excruciating 17 hours as her baby granddaughter passed away.
Apparently, the baby had caught whooping cough, which was just too much for her granddaughter’s little lungs.
As you can probably imagine, her daughter is now destroyed by the loss. In the wake of her granddaughter’s death, she started to get suspicious and decided to call her son.
Once on the phone, she asked Andrew if any of his kids had been sick, too. At that point, he revealed how his kids had had a “nasty cough” and a tiny fever. However, he claimed his kids “had managed.”
“And I don’t know what happened, but I lost it,” she said.
“I just started breathing heavily and crying hard and couldn’t say much more but to say that his niece died because of him.”
Andrew has since tried to call both her and Jenny. He has also tried just showing up at her house multiple times. But neither of them answered the phone or the door.
She has also been trying to calm herself down and convince herself that her granddaughter likely caught it from someone else. However, she knows that her daughter Jenny did not take the baby to any places with any kids for nearly a month.
Sure, the transmission could have occurred during a walk or at a supermarket. But, apparently, her husband pointed out how it was more likely for her granddaughter to contract it via close contact– not just being outside. So, she has been feeling absolutely devastated and torn over this situation.
“I feel so mad, so angry. I don’t know what to do. I love my other grandkids, and I feel like they are gonna suffer with them [Andrew and Alexis] as parents,” she vented.
“Jenny is never gonna forgive Andrew. And I don’t know if I can.”
That’s why she’s now been left wondering what to do and how to move forward following this awful situation.
Can you imagine being in this situation? Would you ever be able to forgive your son? How do you suggest she deal with the grief?
