[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 691674, member: 1550"] I'm so sad for your husband, Walrus. This type of alienation is a prime reason for estrangement, but as adults, yes, they are accountable. And I do think estrangement is harder when the child comes back for a short tease only to leave again. That is a special kind of hell all its own. They are kinder, although no estranged child means to be kind, if they just leave. Sometimes they do come around for money only to leave and disappear again once it is granted. Almost always, the grandchildren are held hostage. It's a special sorry of cruelty that is meant to be just that. Christians believe in hell. I believe in karma. I'm sure my son and his devil wife believe they are such good, loving parents that it will never happen to them. It is an epidemic. It can happen to them or anyone. I didn't think it could happen to me either. Nobody does. Some theories on this are the narcissism of the past few generations and the acceptance of dumping parents like they are dog poop. In our case, older adoption is also a factor. Divorce can be a factor. Rules they don't like can be a factor. A new honey whom they are enamoured by can be a factor. How close you two once were can be a factor. Any estranged child sets an example for his own kids. They are more likely to have estranged children. Sorry, I'm ranting again. Accept my deepest empathy for your husband's situation. Frankly, it stinks. I hope he can move on to acceptance one day and stop suffering. [/QUOTE]
