bewildered

I just do not understand grandparents that don't like their kids or grandkids to the point of not wanting to help them when they're in trouble. I can see getting frustrated with the kids...I've been frustrated with mine more than once throughout the years, and, I can see not liking certain personality traits that you see being manifested. But, I can't see not liking the person at all...or, at least it seems to me that they don't. And...carry that on down to not doing whatever you can to help the g'kids when they obviously need extra loving and extra care at the moment. Just walking away doesn't seem to me to be an option...I could better understand not putting yourself into a position to know their condition in the first place, but once confronted with the need...to just walk away? Incredible behavior for an adult.

I could expand...but, as I'm pushed for time right now, I won't.

I'm just going on the record as being disillusioned....it's so sad.

I found this in my drafts...and...am surprised it was there...I do recall writing this, but thought I'd posted it too...Had to have been about 5yrs ago at least...I dealt with my feelings at the time, but never trusted this person as much as I had in previous years. Now....so much has changed...it's not an issue for this person any more. I'm posting this for me...as a reminder of how people aren't who we put our trust in.
