[quote=Anonymous]I'm not in your situation, but your kids' situation. Both of my parents grew up in abusive homes and went through long periods of no contact with their parents. I'm 30 and I've met one grandfather 3x total and one grandmother about 5. The other grandfather died before I was born and while I'm close to my other grandmother, she played favorites and my mom kept strict boundaries in place once my younger siblings were old enough to notice, so I didn't see her often (every 2 years or so) I do have close relationships with a few uncles, aunts and cousins though. Even more so as an adult than when I was a kid. I know the family history and folklore, I hear stories of my parents' childhood (some good, some bad) and I have a very real sense of "where I come from" despite having almost relationship with my grandparents and most of my parents' siblings.[/quote]
