Disclaimer: I think too much about this, but it has been an investment of most of my life, so I think I’m entitled. I just don’t understand how this has happened and I try every waking moment to make sense of it. Imagine, having 3 beautiful children, watching them grow and teaching them about Jesus, right from wrong, and giving them every experience you could. Loving them more than life itself. Being so proud of their accomplishments. Investing all you have in their futures. Devoting your life to them. Fast forward a decade. No visits from 2 of the 3 children. No phone calls, even to acknowledge Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, birthdays, holidays, let alone those “just because” calls and visits. In fact, 1 will not even allow contact with your grandchild, and 1 is just too self absorbed and selfish. 2 of said children have just wiped you from their life, although 1 might reply if you send them an Instagram message. How does one make it through a day treating their parents worse than they would treat any stranger? How does one turn their back on their upbringing and their parents, and even their grandparents. How is it okay to go so far as to block your parents from communicating with you. I pray every day for answers, and I know that in God’s time I’ll get them. I continue to pray for my children and grandchildren, and for their health and happiness. I will always love them unconditionally. Most of all, I pray their children never treat them like they are treating us. I’m sure that they believe this will never happen to them. Be careful! We never would/could have imagined this!
