It's a good idea to leave some tiny tiny opening for when they possibly come to their senses. But I agree, write them out of any inheritance. Every party is an adult here except your innocent grandchild. Adults who are truly adults do not expect any reward after burning your beloved relationships to the ground.

I suspect these narcissists will largely find themselves turned upon by their own horrified children, who are likely someday to come to understand the treatment of their grandparents as akin to the same abuses they will suffer under these parents

My heart was aching by the time I finished reading this. I thought it was interesting that you mentioned inheritance. My husband and I have talked about this. We have decided to wait for a time to see if our daughter and son come to their senses. Probably until we are in our 70s. If not, then we are rewriting our will.

I thought about that too. No solution is perfect. The reasons I tend to leave them out are:

1. They want no part of us and consider us “dead to” them;

2. Including them is not fair to the children who have supported us when the chips were down;

3. If included, they would cause trouble and delay things for the two supportive children;

4. They simply don’t deserve anything; and;

5. It is easy to redo a will if they do come around.

I support you 100 percent!

I'd notify them now. Give them a deadline.

What a nightmare. God bless you and your family. May He soften your children’s hardened hearts and have mercy on us all.

She cannot legally block you from your grandchild. You have the legal right to spend time with grandchildren. I assume a woke Judge could try to block it if you don’t agree to pronouns, but not all judges are woke.

Your story is heartbreaking, and I am so sad for your losses. This evil cult will try to destroy every relationship in its path without any remorse. I heard today on the radio that the Pope is making a firm stance against transgender ideology - hopefully this will gain some attention and the media will spread the correct information and the truth. Every article that is not affirming this cult is helping our cause and I must believe that the tide is changing and that the evildoers will be exposed. I pray for all the broken families connected to this sub stack. You are not alone on this very painful journey.

Oh dear God , that's so heartbreaking !! I'll never be able to understand the absolute cruelty of this movement. It's totally abhorrent and it warps its believers brains in unimaginable ways ,mostly never heard of before. It's corrupt to its very core but hopefully Karma is just around the corner for the proponents of this evil cult. God Bless you and all who are affected.💔 I pray for you all.🙏🙏🙏xx

This mental cult has to stop! This is not human, these people are infected with a mind virus. My daughter is taking testosterone at the moment a d pretending to be a

Just like the cultural revolution in China, break the bonds of family and have the children denounce their parents. This is a nihilistic death-cult.

The hallmark of a cult is getting someone away from their family. They cannot have a healthy family relationship interfere with the indoctrination of the cult. In Shakespeare ‘s King Lear, he refers to “ an ungrateful child” as “A Serpent’s Tooth!” I fear the people in the Trans Cult will be like Japanese Soldiers found on deserted Islands in the 1970’s and never admit they were wrong even when this toxic fad implodes! God Bless you. May He change their hearts!

At what point do we stop waiting for them to find empathy again? Some parents on this site have been waiting 10 years.

That is so heartbreaking and yes, they don't truly realize what they've done. My ex-daughter-in-law is into transgenderism now. I was never allowed to be a grandma to my two normal grandkids. My younger son and his girlfriends don't want kids as they're in their forties. Bringing new life into the world today, well, maybe not a good idea.

I hate to say this, but I hope my kids never have grandkids now. My son is in the trans cult and my daughter is a TRA. They are both in their 20s. I told my wife that it is a terrible thing to lose faith in my own kids, but that is where we're at. I've cried a lot of tears, but I'm starting to adjust to reality.

My younger son and his girlfriends probably won't be having kids, either. I was never a grandma to my other son's grandkids because my now ex-daughter-in-law doesn't like me and is into transgenderism. Bringing new life into the world is hazardous today.
