[quote=Anonymous]My ex ILs are like this. They live a plane ride away, but were always very involved in the kids' lives - phone calls, letters, visits, gifts for birthdays/holidays etc. We always reciprocated and the kids sent thank you notes. This year my STBX split up, and it has been radio silence from his entire family, including the grandparents. The kids are confused and hurt, but there isn't much I can do. I have sole custody (ex's choice) I sent holiday presents as cards per usual, but nothing from them. They travel, but haven't even called my kids. STBX has pulled the same disappearing act, so maybe the fruit doesn't fall far from the tree. I just don't get how grandparents can cut off all contact with their grandchildren like that. It's fine if they don't want to talk to me, but the kids? And my kids are old enough to notice (HS, MS and ES). The kids have called them, but the conversations are short and leave the kids more confused. And there are quite a few other grandkids as well, who my ex ILs remain very involved with. At least that's what I hear via FB. Bottom line, I think people do what they want to do, and sometimes what they do is shitty. Sorry.[/quote]
