A person writes Dear Annie about the fact that they haven't heard from their grandchildren in quite some time.
I am a widow and I have three children. Our family has always been a close one. However, I have encountered a dilemma I never thought I would experience. My daughter is a divorced mother of four grown children. In the past, she always made sure she visited. This has changed in the last few years. Now she seldom visits. I have seen her once this year. She only lives two hours from me.
She is seeing someone, and I know they spend a great deal of time with each other, especially on the weekends. She has brought him twice when we’ve had a get-together, etc. As a result, I am no longer seeing my grandchildren -- her children -- nor am I hearing from them. In the past, she made it a point to visit. The children have families, and two of the granddaughters have children. I try not to dwell on it.
I am no longer driving due to back problems as a result of arthritis. I am disappointed, and I am hurt. It is not where I can visit them due to my not driving.
