Often, people have absolutely no understanding of how serious the effect is on grandparents who are denied contact with their grandchildren.
Grandparents can be clinically depressed having to take medication to keep them on an even keel, and the worse cases grandparents are suicidal. Feeling complete isolation and desperation when they contemplate ending it all.
I assure you I am not being over dramatic, it is fact.
Some grandparents feel ashamed of the situation, how can their own children that they raised and nurtured have turned against them?
What can have happened in their lives to have brought them to this?
Every situation is of course different, but the outcome is the same, families being torn apart.
If you are experiencing total desperation , please talk to someone, your Doctor, ask for counselling -most surgeries offer a service usually the first few are free. Talk to a support group or call the Samaritans o8457 90 90 90.
