Grandparents contact orders, whose right?

Definition of rights:

"In an abstract sense, justice, ethical correctness, or harmony with the rules of law or the principles of morals. In a concrete legal sense, a power, privilege, demand, or claim possessed by a particular person by virtue of law. "

Why do we insist in talking about rights, in the above definition several words show how negative a word it is ; power, demand, as soon as you say those words it becomes aggressive.
Children who find themselves in this constant world of conflict have to find their own ways of dealing with the emotional turmoil in their lives.
They are trying to lead their own lives, to have fun, to be with friends and just to embrace every opportunity. If children are caught up in the poison of alienation they are unable to spread their wings and fly.
All their energy is used on trying to make things better for the adults in their lives, see-sawing from one to another. Thinking that somehow it is their responsibility to make it OK, spending so much time walking the tightrope of separation their young lives are passing them by.
Surely, the responsibility is ours, the adults, not the children.
