blocked me out of her life since 2017. She had been groomed by her master manipulator father her whole life and it accelerated when I left him in 2014, when she was 30. My granddaughter doesn't know me. She's a tennessee trumper 100%.

I didn't get the mother i wanted either but I still took care of her on her deathbed and never kicked her out of my life.
