Comments on: PBS Life Part 2: Cut Off from the Grandkids http://www.drjoshuacoleman.com/2010/01/pbs-life-part-2-boomer-grandparenting/ Speaker, Author & Psychologist Sun, 05 Sep 2010 14:42:32 -0700 hourly 1 By: Georgene Weiner http://www.drjoshuacoleman.com/2010/01/pbs-life-part-2-boomer-grandparenting/comment-page-1/#comment-2532 Georgene Weiner Sat, 17 Jul 2010 17:55:40 +0000 http://www.drjoshuacoleman.com/?p=123#comment-2532 Dear Dr.Coleman, I read "When Parents Hurt" with great interest and enlightenment, sharing many passages with my husband. Having acted upon almost all of your helpful suggestions, however, our estranged son and daughter both (40, 37yrs. old respectively, remain estranged from us and deny us any possibility of seeing our grandchildren. Our third child is a twin sister to our daughter and remains close to us. The pain and anguish that come from not being able to see our grandchildren is, at times, unbearable. We are a loving couple, married 43 years. Our estranged children will not tell us why they have separated and have refused intervention from well-meaning family and friends. We are quite distraught, as we have apologized--even though we don't know what we have done to cause such a rift. Can you help? Thank you , Georgene and Allen Weiner Dear Dr.Coleman,
