The grandparents are still family.
I've lived my whole life with my father, the weeks or short months I spent consecutively with my mother were crap. However, when my father and I had a fallout, it was my mom's parents who took me in. They've paid for my medical bills, my college, my food, and my clothes. They're more family than my mother ever was.
Family is important. If she plays her cards right and doesn't shut them out, the child's grandparents could be like a second family for her and her baby.
