Grandparenting and visitation rights: If all your efforts are discarded by a bitter custodial parent, keep reminding yourself that you are doing what you can to keep love alive with your grandchildren and someday your grandchildren will realize how much you loved them. |

If all your efforts are discarded by a bitter custodial parent, keep reminding yourself that you are doing what you can to keep love alive with your grandchildren. |
What if you fail? You have tried the mediators and the courts. You either have not been awarded visitation rights or if you were, the custodial parent has left the state, maybe even to keep you from seeing the children. What can you do? Persevere. No child can have too much love. Children have a right to the love of grandparents.

You can try to find ways to stay-in-touch with those

Even if everything is returned to you, you can put it aside for the day you will see that child again. And if all your efforts are discarded by a bitter custodial parent, you are doing what you can to keep love alive for those special people: your grandchildren. Many children, when they are teenagers or adults, will attempt to find their other parent and all the relatives who were denied to them as children. Even then, the fact that you were trying to give them love as children will be meaningful to your grandchildren. Not much consolation on a cold, winter evening, though, is it? End of a series
