THE FUSE

"My daughter and I were so close. I never imagined she would get married, have kids, and cut me off. She doesn't answer my phone calls, texts, or emails and practically forbids my grandchildren from speaking with me. It's hurtful beyond words. Her husband refuses to talk to us and clearly considers any involvement we try to have with their family an intrusion. I can handle him not liking us, but what happened to my daughter? Doesn't she remember the close relationship we had? I don't even know who she is anymore." –Cynthia, 68
