One of my friends was involved in a petty family argument some years ago which blew up out of all proportion. Since then one of her sons hasn't spoken to her and doesn't allow her to see her grandchildren or send cards. She has opened savings accounts for her grandsons and she puts a small amount away for each every birthday and christmas and she has made short video tapes for them each year. She hopes that one day the children will be able to make up their own minds about their grandmother and she will be able to give them the savings accounts and recordings that she has collected. It's hard because it's not the children's fault and they are suffering by being used as pawns in a game of family spite. This helps her cope and keeps hope alive for the future. She also feels that she is treating all her grandchildren the same, as much as possible, those she sees and those she doesn't see.

[QUOTE="nlj, post: 628985, member: 17650"] One of my friends was involved in a petty family argument some years ago which blew up out of all proportion. Since then one of her sons hasn't spoken to her and doesn't allow her to see her grandchildren or send cards. She has opened savings accounts for her grandsons and she puts a small amount away for each every birthday and christmas and she has made short video tapes for them each year. She hopes that one day the children will be able to make up their own minds about their grandmother and she will be able to give them the savings accounts and recordings that she has collected. It's hard because it's not the children's fault and they are suffering by being used as pawns in a game of family spite. This helps her cope and keeps hope alive for the future. She also feels that she is treating all her grandchildren the same, as much as possible, those she sees and those she doesn't see. [/QUOTE]
