Dear Queenie,
My daughter got a divorce when she found out her husband was cheating on her. She has custody of their children and she won’t let them see their father. She also doesn’t want the rest of her family to have anything to do with him.
His family all live far away from here and he was always close to us when they were married because we were all the family he had. And the other woman broke up with him when our daughter found out about her.
Queenie, what he did was wrong, but now he is so depressed and I feel so sorry for him. Is there anything I can do?—Sad grandmother
Dear Grandmother,
Do not lie to your daughter. You may have to cut your ties with your ex-son-in-law.
However, you can point out to your daughter that her children need their father and by keeping him away from them she is punishing them as well as him. They will understand that nobody approves of what he did – the divorce is his punishment – but he is still their father.
