[QUOTE="Dave Furey, post: 700799, member: 20920"] You have reached out, don't bother. If they have decided to exclude you from their lives, that's on them. How's this one for size. I have a 32 year old son, married, remarried and remarried back to the first wife. They have two daughters and I have never seen them. They are 4 and 2 ? I think. I have no phone number, address, nothing. He is friends with my youngest son and now some of the family now. Of course, I'm the bad guy to everybody because I should reach out and forgive the past, his past of out of control teenager etc.etc.etc. I have forgiven the past, that's not the problem. I have NOTHING to reach out to and for me it's like a divorce. I have gone through the anger, grief and everything else. IT's THEIR JOB TO INFORM ME THEY HAVE CHILDREN, I didn't have them? If they are not going to introduce the grandchildren to me, THAT'S ON THEM. So to me, I would do nothing else. THEY ARE GROWNUPS NOW! If they don't want to include you in their lives, that's on them!
