My four year old grandson "doesn't want me"

Thank you everyone. I posted in distress. You’ve helped me feel much worse. Goodbye

But true.

Yes and sometimes the truth is harsh. I’d be mortified if a grown son of mine acted like that. His poor children.

It must be so hard for children when they are struggling with their own emotions, anxieties and fears in the midst of a split. I agree with jangly, I think the love is there from the start, but it can be jettisoned or buried when they are just trying to survive emotionally and so much of what they thought they could trust is being swept away. You can only go on being there for them and assuring them you love them and always will.

Sorry, in the words of Victor Meldrew ""I don't believe it".

My oldest granddaughter was similar age when her parents split up. She was always wanting to leave me and her dad we ask her why she used to say don’t know. It turned out her mum had a bf who she then married he tried all ways to cut us out of her life. And saying things about us. My son had to fight for his daughter through courts this guy went on trying to stop us even though we had court rights. Granddaughter is now a different girl now her mum divorce this man 2yrs ago she is now 13. My advice would be make sure your son gets his rights in court before his ex meets someone else and if your grandson wants to go home just let him go and tell him you love him and see him soon as kids change their minds every 5 mins they don’t realise that they hurting you plus he’s still getting over the change in his life of his dad not being there. My granddaughter is always changing her mind if her friends have a better offer. But don’t take it personally because that’s life
