[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP I am so with you. Lost the grandparents in a short & unexpected time span. The youngest grand kids never got to meet them. They were truly the most amazing grandparents and parents. I hate to be envious or compare, but the holidays are tough. There was a post the other day with someone whining about their in-laws attending every school thing. I saw that the same day my oldest was in tears bc he wanted a grandparent at a grandparent school event. I wish these posters would step back & appreciate what they have. [/quote]

I am with you, as well.  "Grandparent's Day" is the worst.  I can deal with my own sadness, but it's just crushing for my kid (and by extension, me). FWIW, I've often thought about complaining to the school about it, but I realize that the vast majority of kids love it, so I say nothing.

And for those who are claiming that OP is criticizing people for not appreciating their truly toxic and abusive parents, that's not what OP said. At all.  [/quote]

I totally get that OP didn’t say that about thinking abusive parents should be appreciated. I’m one of the posters with an abusive  parent. I was just saying, anecdotally, that that’s a take-away when children of abusive read posts like this. Abuse becomes so normalized it’s often hard to actually tell the difference or severity, so you question yourself and your interpretation of those events. OP is certainly entitled to her feelings. I’m happy he or she had such wonderful parents.[/quote]
