For the rights of the grandparents to see their grandchildren after parents divorce.
- by: Mariemma Mateo.
- recipient: To make the same petition in each country for the family well being
My petition is to everybody out there who care for keeping the family union wich makes stronger social values. To make a law where grandparents are allowed to see and share time and vacations with their grandchildren as well as divorced parents do.
Normally they are afected enough with the break off between their parents, the separation of one of them and the family in general, to have to cope on top with the separation -sometimes forever- of their grandparents.
We dealed with them when the parents could not, took care of them in many moments, we and our house were the neutral people and place to be when the parents had any kind of troubles, we smooth the punishments, gave the piece of cake, helped them in school duties, we were the open arms when they thought nobody liked them, or silently cry...
Parents get divorced and separated, but why they involve us?
We had and have nothing to do with the problems that caused the divorce. But many times the parent who keep the kid/s wants to hurt the other cutting all the relationships with their family... Including us, the grandparents, the lot of legal work, time and money involved to fix this is not the worst: Kids get very hurted, confused and damaged with such situation. The worst part is for them, mostly starting their lifes, and we get a big bite too, mostly late in our lifes.
I am asking you to sign my petition to consolidate the family which is the support of the life and society.
And urge you, grandparents all over the world, to make a petition like this in your country and sign the rest too.
Whish you peace, health and prosperity, and thanks to everybody!
The divorce causes problems to the entire family, but specially to the closest ones. No matter in what part of the world you live, is so. Is known that the kids develop a special emotional link with their grandparents and same way back. Is known too that in most of the cases after the divorce the couple is angry to each other and in many cases try to punish each other with their kids, including emotional blackmail with them.
In this situation is when grandparents and grandkids get damage. One of the parents has the custody and -among others- do not allow the kids to see their grandparents anymore or will sow the seed of hate in them. I could not tell wich is worst.
In many cases you can get visited by them but the parent who has the custody put a lot of buts, rules and make very clear that they have the situation controlled: Cannot eat icecream or go to the swiming pool because they are punished, bring the kids with lots of school work so you can not enjoy free time together. Kids cannot travel with grandparents at all! Kids are confused with the change in the situation and we don´t know how to explain...
We are hand tided and heart broken. They will understand only late in life, after the damage is done.
Please, sign my petition and start asking to your goverments to make a law for grandparents having the same rights of parents to share time and vacations with our grandkids.
Thanks a lot for signing my petition and start raising our voices in the entire world to recover the family values.
