[quote=Anonymous]Thanks for the input -- we visit Grandma 2/3x per yr. The aunts, uncles and cousins live near grandma. My dc have some recollection of them because we have seen them in the past -- but in the past 2 years they have been unresponsive to our attempts to make contact when we visit grandma. There was abuse in the family a long time ago and these are the lasting effects -- I'm talking 50 years ago -- so it seems absurd to me (I'm not even 50 yet!). But this is definitely residual effects of our abusive father (and enabling mother). Is a 9-yr old able to understand this? What do I say to the kids when they ask about thei rest of the family?[/quote]
