[QUOTE="BusynMember1, post: 762005, member: 23706"] [B]Anyone here or lurking not see or talk to your grown kids or grands for years? Probably you don't even know why? This is a big anti-family trend and there are tons of Estranged Parents sites on Facebook and all of them are very busy with people telling the same type of stories. I thought I'd print the topic here to see if there is a need for it. Most stories go like this. We were so close and suddenly at 20, 30, 45 he said I cant be in his life anymore and Im devestated. He has been gone and blocked me for a long time. I can't see my grands anymore. We were so close! Daughter took them out if my life![/B] My daughter lies about her childhood to everyone! I have no say...she won't let me respond. People believe her! The spouse's Mom gets to be Grandma. I'm never invited. I write letters apologizing (although I was never told what I did wrong). I get no response. Nothing. My gifts are returned OR my gifts are accepted without a thank you. But I don't even get a birthday card. I read her/his social media and that's how I found out I have a grandchild/my daughter got married/other milestones. It started with my divorce. It started when my son married. It started when *I* remarried. It happened for NO reason I can determine! It has been 1, 5, 10, 20 years. It has lasted so long and now I am 75! I want to see if there is a place for this sad topic here. Face book has many forums for estrangement but I like this platform better. Some kids are partly estranged as in: I hear from him ONLY when he needs money or wants something.... with abuse or estrangement if we don't do what he wants. [B]Myself: I have an estranged daughter myself. Probably won't see her again, not in this lifetime. Don't be shy about sharing, if indeed anyone here has a like story to share.[/B] [/QUOTE]
