Dear Nora,
Thank you for contacting us and sharing your story. We understand how difficult this situation can be, especially since your son is forcing you to choose between your grandchild and your hobby.
Don’t give up the part of your life that makes you who you are just to keep someone else comfortable. What your son and DIL are really showing you is not about that GamesIt’s about control. They’ve come to view your time as an extension of their comfort, and your new hobby disrupts that.
The healthiest thing you can do right now is to draw nice, clear boundaries. Tell your son that you are love Because your grandchild has not changed, but you are no longer available to be “on call.” You deserve the same respect For as much time as any working adult would get.
Let your actions speak. Keep playing, keep your business growing, and invite your grandchild into the world when possible.
One day, he will see that his grandmother was not choosing between family and passion. She was showing him that self-esteem and independence were worth protecting, no matter how old you were.
