 You shouldn't be torn apart like that, and their adults they should be able to deal with the fact you want to talk to both of them because they are BOTH your parents, they can't expect you to chose sides, and its selfish of them to even be acting like this. You need to talk to them, obviously explain your feeling and tell them your daughter deserves to be able to see BOTH of her grandparents without having silly arguments and stuff over it, it really is silly, they decided to go seperate ways, they have to deal with the fact your going to visit both of them.

 Tell them quite firmly you are not prepared to expose your child to their childish behaviour any longer. If they are going to continue with their childish manipulations you will cease visiting and they can visit you instead.
Stick to your guns. They are doing it because they can!

 Hi
If they split up 3 years ago its time they grew up and stopped using you to bounce their silly petty feelings off.
Tell them both you are an adult,a parent and they are BOTH your parent. Say that if they 'start' about you visiting the other you will leave, let them know your sick of it and not prepared to put up with this any longer.Stick to your guns, they need telling,its spoiling your relationship with them. If you cant do it to their face, write letters to them both
