Okay, I know this is a touchy subject and all but it's kinda harsh for your mom to say she never wants to see you again and then decide otherwise when it comes to your daughter. Your daughter doesn't need to see mom and grandma fight and she doesn't need to grow up in that type of environment. Mom or not, I wouldn't want to deal with the emotional drama she's creating. If she's not mature enough to try to sit down and come to a mutual ground that the two of you can agree on, then I would say she doesn't need to come. You don't need that tension and your daughter doesn't need that negativity in her life. It sounds like your mom is very immature and it is hard to deal with people that are like that. I hope you can work it out, but I find that kind of stuff to be to emotionally draining. I'd just write her off and figure it's her choice. She made her bed now she can lie in it. I guess i'm just harsh like that, but I have no time for drama. Hope it helps. Your little girl deserves the best she can get emotionally and physically and I think you have her best interest at heart. Best to you. This is definitely a tough one.

I would, if not for you just for your daughter, your daughter needs a grandmother and others to love her, you shouldnt let a fit between you and your mom affect her.. just my opion though! good luck
