Raising awareness about parental and grandparent alienation.

I'm new here. I have 1 daughter. She is my whole world. In 2017 she quit speaking to me for some reason. I have done everything I know to do but regarding your Will, you don't owe her or anyone anything. If you have other children that do things to help you and will probably be there for you if you got sick, why should you give the child anything that has completely ripped your heart into pieces? I have a farm which my daughter has not bothered to do anything with or for the farm. She won’t bring my grandchildren I have never met to their farm. No im not leaving her anything unless something drastically changes. Which I don't foresee happening.

You have joined an old thread. You might be better starting your own new one.

Hello Bcowlady as DL has posted this is an old thread so maybe you'd like to take a look at the support thread for estrangement on this forum.

If you are asking advice about a subject such as this poster and her will, personally I can see no objection to revisiting it rather than opening another with same heading, if no one want to contribute it will just stop.

Good grief User is there any need to be so unpleasant, especially to someone new to GN?

I think only someone whose fortunate enough not to have been estranged by their child could ask an EP why their estrangement has ripped their heart into pieces. makes you sound more like a forlorn partner than a parent really!!!

What on earth are you suggesting in your final paragraph? That the OP who you don't even know is an awful person?

This as you well know is a forum for estrangement and there's no need for such unpleasantness. It is, or at least it should be possible to disagree with and/or question a poster without being nasty.

Well said Smiles . User that was cruel and uncalled for .

Like Smiles says Bcowlady come onto the support thread . We understand how you feel .

Oh no no no treat them the same in your will even though she has estranged herself she is still your daughter Definitely split it three way, her, her sister, and the grandchildren or give the younger daughter who is struggling something along the way which no one needs to know about

Tbf, we don’t know that the daughter didn’t have good cause to cut contact: we don’t know the reason behind it.

Oh, I see. Tbh, I’d struggle to maintain any sort of relationship with my parents if they supported Reform.

You have no idea whether or not Bcowlady is a Trump supporter User so what on earth are you going on about? This is really quite extraordinary even for you.

There's no specific information as to why there's been an increase in estrangement since Trump's election, so we have no idea how many parents have been estranged because they support Trump or because they didn't.

Your assumptions are off the scale.

We only ever know what we're told Basgetti, and whether or not an EAC has good cause to cut contact, doesn't necessarily reduce the pain of the parent they've estranged.

Fair point.

^I've never understood why some people feel entitled to receive anything^ neither have I Marthjolly. Inheritance is a gift, not a right.

Amen to that.

deplorable parents oh dear.

*User "Why does her estrangement have to rip your heart into pieces?
Shouldn't you be glad that your child grew up to be strong, wise and independent enough to do what's best for their life, even at the cost of a large inheritance. Having your heart ripped apart by their estrangement makes you sound more like a forlorn partner rather than a parent. Also, if you have no idea why she cut contact in 2017, it might have something to do with trump becoming president in 2016 and exposing how awful some people truly are*

Good heavens User have you no sense atall of an entirely human and understandable response in terms of feelings and emotions, of a parent who is estranged! I support someone who after years of abuse *chose to estrange themselves from their adult child*- and even as the one making that choice she has been devastated by the loss of that child etc etc!

And then in a later post you suggest that such feelings are immature (even though difficult to deal with). So the way that Bcowlady expressed her pain in dealing with it is now clearly not up to your apparent guidelines on expressing painful emotions.

And then there is your astounding unpleasantly expressed commentary on an upset posters potential politics being the cause.

At the very least your points could have been expressed more kindly as if one really wants to help on a thread like this, it is necessary to communicate in a way that an upset and hurting person can "hear"what is being said and it is perfectly possible to give very hard constructively critical comments on a way that a person can accept and at least think about your points!

Well I suppose you acknowledging that EAC can be deplorable is something User.

Well said Madgran.

User, if you cannot be nice better not say anything, you don't know peoples circumstances.

You don't know User; you're making assumptions that are neither helpful or pleasant.

Message deleted by Gransnet. Here's a link to our Talk guidelines.

But you don't know do you User so how can you claim to be helping the OP with your 'highly-educated^ guess?

User you appear to simply wish to argue rather than respond to reasoned comment!

Bcow I'm sorry that responses to you have been overshadowed by educated or otherwise guesses. If relevant think about your politics. If not do whatever makes you feel is the right thing to do
