My son married and I was never given a chance to develop a positive relationship with his wife - who comes from an abused family situation. I have tried in the past to call him with no response. I will always send him a birthday card and have done so for the past two year. I am in therapy and will continue to be. It is so hard to put into words my feeling. He has cut off relationships with his cousins, aunts and uncles on my side of the family. He has continued to see his father, step mother and step brothers. I have been divorced from his father for over 25 years. It is so sad - I have almost given up hope. It has been a little over two years. It is heart breaking.

After many attempts via phone, mail, gifts (all sent back unopened) a face to face after a church service; sought help thru our son's priest and those visits between them made no difference, even tho they behave like good God fearing people; then they served us with papers to not attempt to contact them or anyone else on our behalf. This is an open wound that bleeds every day and has affected my husband's health. Our only biological grandson, with whom we had a great bond, and relationship adds to our heartbreak, and wonder what he thinks has happened to us, his aunt, and uncle. Is there any recourse for us; we live in NYS, and they are in VT, my home state.
