  • Cyberspace Grandparenting Eases Divorce

    Remarriages and competition for visitation are only two of the issues grandparents face when their son or daughter gets divorced. For many grandparents, it’s feeling cut off even if the custodial parent lives in the same town.

    It’s important to reach out to your grandchildren who will need lots of support at each stage of the martial split.

    How comforting to know that in the age of technology you are only keystrokes away. With social-networking sites, grandparents can drop in on their grandchildren without having to call first. Instant messaging and texting can communicate support. Even if the message is a one-liner and you don’t get an instant response, you are keeping the communication open.
