You have no idea what her reasons are so you can't confidently make that statement. For example, if someone was raised in an abusive household, I'd find it very understandable (even expected) if that person then wanted their kids to have nothing to do with the grandparents, or at least very limited contact. I personally would extend that to any massive differences in personal philosophies (e.g. racism, homophobia) IF they can't keep that to themselves when they're around the kids. Being around an angry/abusive/disrespectful grandparent is far worse for a kid than not seeing them at all.

Summed up perfectly.
