OH, SKY! My heart goes out to you. However, how much good could you accomplish in such a poisonous atmosphere? And isn't there a chance it could drag you down even more than the depression from not seeing them? That's how I look at my own situation. I also have been shut out of the lives of my children and grandchildren.
Such flambuoyant ignorance has to keep to itself, Sky, where the light of reason cannot penetrate. Your family must know that what you exemplify --- love, wisdom, and patience, with no axe to grind --- would be far too influential on the children, no doubt causing them to yearn for more of the same, which could not be found among persons who think as the parents do. How do such people sleep at night? Methinks hanging upside down, by the skin of their toenails, as do all vampires, spiritual or otherwise. LOL
So be of good cheer. PsychCentral is here!
