My parents want a relationship with my kids but...

My parents want a relationship with my kids but not me. Want grandparent rights without respecting me. They were terrible parents. But now they want to be amazing grandparents. Without acknowledging the past. They undermined me to my kids. Badmouthed me. Tried to make me look bad. Played victim. I'm the gatekeeper now. And the gate is closed. You don't get access to my kids without going through me. And I'm not letting anyone near them who doesn't respect me. Family or not.
