Even if we raise them the right way, we never know who will have more influence on them, especially once they go away to college. We know Christian kids who converted to Muslim, etc. Keep praying for our children!

Amen. Grandparents fill a huge space in grandchildrens' lives. We have this issue with several of our children. And we have many friends whose children withhold their grandchildren ....for whatever reason.

I grieve for our grand children for the lack of enrichment grandparents fill their lives with. It's a loose loose all around.

Just breaks my heart - but I still believe that your prayers, especially as a Mom and Grandma, have more spiritual power than we think! Keep praying for those beautiful grandkids!

I’m blessed that my own children, natural and adopted did not become indoctrinated by left wing propaganda.

Not true for my niece though just turned 23. The same exact rant as the rest. I’m guessing this ideology developed when she was in college, her parents are conservative but divorced. This rant of hers was shared to my 18 Y/O daughter who just voted for the 1st time & was appalled by her cousins behavior. We are proud of our daughter!

I am especially sad the she turned her rant on my brother who raised her, was a Cheer-team dad, gymnastics, always there. He put her through college. Paid for her wedding.

Is it really worth destroying relationships with family or your spouse? No it is not. There will come day when the anti Trump or who ever rains on their parade next, will look around and see they are alone someday. The division created here was by design to break down family bonds, but the woke are so blinded by hate they can’t figure that out.

All we can do is resolve to be the light. And in doing so, we wake others up.

I would comply with her request and find other more deserving individuals to bless with it.

Exactly why I included the tweet from the woman saying she would be happy to have parents. So sad.

Karma is a bitch you lunatic. I'm sure when your daughters are old enough they will run from you as fast as they can.

Thank you for acknowledging this very real and sad phenomenon happening. I am one of those grandparents. My husband and I were told we are not allowed to visit our first and only grandchild, if we did not get the jab. We did not get the jab and never will. After a year and a half he called to tell us we were abusive and were never to be around his son alone and allowed a once a year supervised visitation. They are now expecting their second child. They do nit include us in the details of the upcoming birth. I have relatives reporting the details to me.

I have laid this at God’s feet. That is how I get through some dark days. I had put all my time and energy into being a very involved mom to my sons. I would have been a positive influence and rained down my god given love on my grandchildren. I still hold out hope that the future will bring me that opportunity. I do still send gifts to my grandson, to somehow stay connected. They did allow us an afternoon visit this last summer. We are strangers to our sweet grand baby.

God Bless you for that beautiful prayer! I am grateful for God’s grace and mercy. I am thankful that you wrote about the strange cultural shift.

This horrible behaviour has to be some form of mental illness? Good parenting can help but the amount of evil leftist indoctrination the younger generations are subject to in everyday life is overwhelming their normal cognitive abilities and turning them into something akin to matrix authority autobots. Resist, fight, eliminate the leftist plague and perhaps these people can be healed.

Fortunately for me banning family members for ideological differences isn’t a thing in my family. I feel for those who are adversely affected by this horrible evil that has been unleashed on young people.

Quite frankly, I would not let anyone-family or not- who would vote for a candidate who condones and supports genocide of a long oppressed population comprised primarily of children and women around my children. Anyone who would vote for a politician that is cool with genocide is not safe around children or fit for a civil society.

My 43 year old son & his wife decided 3+ years ago to discontinue communication with us due to differences of opinion on some things. Instead of agreeing to disagree or engaging in a robust dialog -- silence. We still send them birthday cards/letters, holiday greetings and anniversary cards, and we pray for the day when they will once again reconsider. IMO that's what we do -- we love the other person who is shutting us out in any manner we can in order to keep them aware of your decision not to write them off or dismiss them as important people. I've seen it happen with others over the years and it must, like all things in our lives, be in the LORD's hands, where it belongs -- trying to run with it ourselves, involving other people, confrontational scenes are not productive. Rest in the LORD and in His ways and trust Him for those stolen moments and memories. He will restore what has been taken and He Himself IS our great reward. See Joel 2.

small minded people do small minded things! That's very cruel! If my granddaughter did that to me it would be her loss! TheThe kids are innocent, but if mom has this much hate you children learn what they live

This is exactly what my daughter has done to me and my son (her only brother). Mind virus or demonic possession. I did not raise her to be like this, it started when she went to public school.

Such haters should be asked by a therapist: "Have you considered dying?" And then be directed to MAiD (Medical Assistance in Dying).

Sadly, all of our children hold one thing or another against us as excuses to withhold relationships with our grandchildren. Whether it is faith, our beliefs in right to life, godly living, working for a living, politics, you name it it's their excuse. We get denigrated on social media by family members who really have no business in our lives, and rarely have any of them positively contributed to our lives, even to cards for occasions when we make sure to bless them.

But, we evil, despicable people seem to be the ones each of these progeny reach out to if they dig a hole too deep to get themselves out of. Then, we seem to be great. Sorry, I've grown bone tired weary for these blood sucking waiters (waiting for us to die to get what we've worked our lives for). I probably don't have many years left, but of this I have become sure...there's very little room for these vipers in my life. And, I don't regret not wasting what time I have left enjoying people and places I enjoy without feeling badly for people who have zero to no regard for me.
