I my opinion parents and their decisions must come first, it is not up to us to interfere, after all we learnt by our mistakes when bringing our children up, our children have to do the same.
Be there to give support if and when you are asked to.
As you know I have just become a grandparent again and the love I feel for the little ones is immeasurable, it is the same feeling that I had when our granddaughter was born, it is totally different from the feelings I had when my children were born.
It is difficult to put it into words.
For those of us who have experienced the loss of our grandchildren due to denied contact will understand how hard it is, not knowing if they are ok,safe or happy, that feeling has not gone away just because of the little ones. If anything it is even stronger.
So I must learn lessons from the past and make sure that I am there for my children and grandchildren when they want me to be.
Let me know what you think about the grandparents role.
