I know that my mum and hers never had a good relationship but if I go to see her more harm may come out of the situation and if I don't go I may regret it .

 Ask your mum what happened, if you don’t already know. You don’t need her permission, but it would be inconsiderate not to tell her first.

 Why not talk to your mom first?
I don't think you NEED your mom's permission to go see your grandmother, but I think hiding it would be a BAD idea. Why not talk?
I get that sometime things happen in families and they cut ties, but unless there was abuse, neglect or violence the KIDS are usually the ones who miss out on this person in their lives.
So, talk to your mom. See what she thinks. Listen to her and then make up your own mind. If you go see your grandmother, why would it cause drama?
You can ALWAYS tell your grandmother that you don't want to hear negative things about your mom (if she brings up anything), but you would like to get to know HER.
