US EditionAsking Eric: How Long Should We Keep Trying to Reach Our Estranged Granddaughter?
- A woman and her spouse have been without contact with their granddaughter, now 17, for the past eight years because the granddaughter's mother cut off their access following her separation from their son.
- This estrangement began when the granddaughter’s mother prevented the grandchildren from seeing their grandparents following her breakup with the grandparents’ son.
- The grandparents have tried to maintain contact by sending gifts and cards for birthdays, Christmas, and other occasions, but they have received no response.
- The granddaughter is about to become a legal adult, enabling her to decide who may contact her, and advice suggests pausing sending gifts while respecting her future choices.
- The ongoing estrangement implies that maintaining contact may be emotionally draining, so taking a break or sending a letter to ask about reconnecting are possible next steps to consider.
