We have two granddaughters now aged 31 and 29 who sadly want nothing to do with us (paternal grandparents) and their birth father. We always hoped there might be a reconciliation but it has been 11 years now and we have learned to live with their decision.
I was diagnosed with breast cancer last September and my husband’s sister has also just been diagnosed. My question is do we need to pass on this information for the girls’ health history and how vital is it? There is also Type 2 Diabetes in the family: my DH, his mother and his sister. They are not old enough for breast screening yet but I know this question is asked at the first mammogram.
Despite efforts we have been unable to find addresses for them and their mother has just begun working in our area. Since we have this point of contact, not sure for how long, should we pass the information on to her or leave well alone?
We don’t have any kind of relationship with their mother, she was adopted as a child and has told us that blood ties are not important but by her is the only way we can get the information to them at the moment. We do have an address for their mother but her marriage broke up recently so we can’t be sure she is still at that address.
Do you feel guilty if you have a lie in??
