Some Grandparents are extremely fortunate (if that is the correct word) to be included as part of a loving family. But sadly, all too many Grandparents, for whatever reasons, are on the outside looking wistfully in!

Regrettably I am one of those Grandparents on the 'outside'. I am desperately searching for the answer to where I went wrong - what on earth could I have done to warrant the sentence of having my grandchildren denied me?

I looked to the internet for advice and possible support, but sadly I couldn't find the sort of help I was looking for.

Although I did land on forums where angry Mums and Dads appeared to be posting, sometimes venting their anger towards Grandparents!

 So what on earth is going on?

 Are Grandparents Ogres?

Hopefully this website can fill a void that is lacking on the world-wide-web, a place where Grandparents can support Grandparents.

All are welcome!
