Arranging a family meeting
With the air somewhat cleared, I decided to arrange a family meeting to discuss financial assistance and find a way to bring the grandchildren back into my life.
‘We need to have a family dinner, get everything out in the open,’ I suggested. Michael nodded, albeit hesitantly.
‘It might be a good idea,’ he agreed. I took it as a positive sign. Bridging the gaps in our communication was the first step towards mending our strained relationships.
