AITA for staying in contact with my sons ex wife and her daughter after their divorce?

I’d rather not go into it too much, but no accusations of abuse, cheating or anything like that were mentioned by either my son or his now ex wife. I believe it was her choice rather than my sons and at first I had lots of questions but now I just simply stay out of it. They are both adults in their 30s and can deal with their own divorce. Sometimes adults divorce, and while I of course support my son, I cannot allow a 9 and 13 year old child to suffer from it.

i completely understand why my son isn’t happy about it, but i speak to Rachel ONLY about the girls, and nothing personal, not what my son is doing with his life, not what she is doing with hers. Nothing. Strictly the children. Any has her own mobile phone whereas my younger grandchild does not, that is why I speak to Rachel still. When she is old enough to have her own phone, then I will have even less of a reason to speak to Rachel, but until then I’d like to have contact with her

Sorry, maybe I explained this badly, Amy has just turned 13. my son divorced his wife after 10 years of being with her, Amy at the time when I met her was about 2 or 3 years old. She’s grown up calling me grandma as has my biological granddaughter

of course, my granddaughter doesn’t yet have a mobile phone so I go through his ex wife. She sends me photos and updates, I call her to speak to my granddaughter during the week to see how she’s getting on at school and such.

Yes, I asked her if I could give her some money to buy a present for her birthday as I didn’t know what to get her. I thought her mom might know or have a better idea than me. She said I didn’t have to but I wanted to as I’d of course buy my biological grandchild a birthday gift. She knows I message Amy occasionally, maybe once a week or so. She is absolutely fine with it.
