Audrey knew all too well what it was like for a daughter to feel rejected by her mother, which is why she did her best to be there for Amanda. But as fate would have it her daughter became a young mother who had become blinded while trapped in such an abusive relationship, making problems worse by making a thoughtless decision of not allowing her mother to see her grandchildren, Brady and Eric. Amanda had the boys convinced they were not allowed to see their grandmother because of a court order, rather than the truth that Amanda's boyfriend had given her an ultimatum; him or her mother. However, Audrey refused to let that happen. She then petitioned the court for grandparent visitation rights proclaiming her daughter was not clearly doing what was in the best interest of her children.
