Hey guys wasn't sure where to post this but hopefully this is it.

I really screwed up this weekend and need to fix the damage. I completely went MB brain dead and forgot everything I have learned.

I made DJ about SIL to my DD and DW and he rightfully is angry with me. I have tried to call him to apologize to him and to say that I am sorry but he will not return my call.

Our grandson was in the hospital and my foot in mouth caused my SIL to leave the hospital. It did not click in my thick skull what I had done to him until this morning.

I should have never disrespected him in front of his W and MIL . My DD and SIL are having a rocky marriage. They have a blended family with a lot of tension about the SS, our grandson. I knew not to give unsolicited advice but didn't think about how I was hurting not only the SIL but my own DD with my words.

If he calls me what else do I need to say. If he doesn't should I try and go see him in person.

If you tried to call, I would write an apology.I would also apologize to your DD. I'm not sure there's anything else you can do but be supportive of them and try to ease their burdens during this difficult time. You can't force him to forgive you and you can't force his hurt away.

DidntQuit thank you for responding. I was finally able to get in touch with him and apologize and I also took your advice and apologized to the DD.
