I've never been close to my father's side of the family. As a little girl my parents divorced and I lived with my mother. Then due to a family spat (I'm not aware of the particulars) my father denied my grandparents the right to see me. As an teenager I sought them out on my own and while we chatted a couple of times it was always awkward and forced. Eventually it got to the point where I would call them, leave a message and never hear back from them. After two years of this I decided to call it quits and not bother. 

The other night I received a message from my grandma saying they're travelling across the country and will be passing through my city and wanted to know if we could meet up. 

I really don't want to meet with these people.

I'm happy without them in my life, I feel no connection to them, and I have no desire to sit across from each other awkwardly not making eye contact. Also, if they wanted to be in my life they should have taken the chance I offered them for two years. 

So, how do I say no? Should I say no? Do you think I could get away with just ignoring the message?

Grandparents want to meet up, I want to go but it's awkward.
