Berkshire Grandparents

Welcome to Berkshire Grandparents - support group for Grandparents, who have little or no contact with their Grandchildren due to difficult family situations.

[Berkshire Grandparents @BGrandparents]

How lovely it would be for us to receive any messages from our grandchildren...beautiful incentive for contact from @NewburyToday

[Geraldine Gardner @GGmatron]

Certainly missing mine - @BGrandparents wouldn't this be nice?

[Oliver Hinz @OliHinz]

#ParentalAlienation should be understood not only as abusive to the child but also as a form of family violence directed toward both the child and the alienated parent.

People say "Don't have expectations and you won't be disappointed" ... I say the hell with that philosophy. I expect respect, kindness, etc.
Here are 8 things to expect (and don't settle for less) in a healthy relationship⬇It's your right!

@LoganMcCree777 @NataliePage31 So sorry to hear this. You are not the first to say this & strangely, I was not going to have children for the same reason...until I met my ex-husband!

[Berkshire Grandparents @BGrandparents]

@Volunteeringace Beautiful, I love lead work! Well done Garry👏

[Dr Sue Whitcombe @drsue2014]

Devastating for parents but also detrimental to children's well-being. Enforced separation of a child from a good enough, loving parent will impact on their development and well-being. The welfare of the child is supposed to be paramount.

@BGrandparents @JeanHatchet @JanLindyJames I too am extremely upset that you are dismissing the concerns of grieving mothers, fathers and families in such a way. The main focus of the report was on the protection of children.

[Action for Happiness @actionhappiness]

How to practice "Deep Listening":
* Ask the other person to explain their perspective
* Listen without interruption or judgement
* Summarise what you heard (you do not have to agree)
* Check you understood
* Continue until they agree with your summary https://t.co/nDrwwO5zVG

[Berkshire Grandparents @BGrandparents]

@JeanHatchet @JanLindyJames Perhaps, you should look deeper, there is also a large collection of alienated mothers & grandparents involved? A great deal of us responded to the questions posed in this report because we have had enough of being dismissed by people like you!

[Berkshire Grandparents @BGrandparents]

Completely agree...I am one of those alienated mothers & by default an alienated grandparent! There are many in my position!

[Janis James MBE @JanLindyJames]

To those who refuse to listen to women victims (alienated mothers) while promoting the "all women must be believed" mantra.

You are frauds. You turn your back on alienated mothers' desperation when their unimaginable pain is at odds with your gendered ideology.

Shame on you

[Berkshire Grandparents @BGrandparents]

Bang on @ClarenceHouse most appreciated...

[ManKind Initiative @ManKindInit]

It is brilliant to see the Duchess of Cornwall @ClarenceHouse include male victims of domestic abuse - "I wanted to lift the shroud of this silence, and get more women, children and men to talk about their experiences." Real inclusive leadership.

[Berkshire Grandparents @BGrandparents]

I completely agree <3

Empathy will save us.
We need to teach children love and empathy.
And most importantly #kindness.

@joel__davidson @TheConWom Your language is appalling! Perhaps, you should learn what that type of language is a precursor to...read & get educated! https://t.co/vdIstkuKvX

Good Egg Safety Releases Report Following One-Year Study Into Parental Alienation, Revealing Disturbing Trends https://t.co/cMbpggEG4f

[Berkshire Grandparents @BGrandparents]

@joel__davidson @TheConWom I am appalled at your presumption that men do not pay their way for their children when the majority are stripped bare of even enough to live on by the CMS. I talk from experience as it happened to me as well & my parents fed me whilst I paid my way! Get your facts straight!

[Berkshire Grandparents @BGrandparents]

@Laura__Farris you need to read this, and then reinstate my appointment with you that has not been rebooked for months! You could do parliament with Zoom, so you can have your appointment with me over Zoom!

[Dr Sue Whitcombe @drsue2014]

The @scotgov Children (Scotland) Bill is introducing regulation of Child Welfare Reporters with enhanced role including identification of DA, coercive control, unhealthy family dynamics, explaining decisions to a child. What is your experience of CWRs?

[Joe Vine @JoeVine10]

If only all judges were brave enough to make decisions such as this.

All too often the alienator pulls the strings in family court.
