The fault lies with your son and the values he has not instilled in your grandchildren. You should have talked to your son before now. If children are taught from a young age to send a short note it would have carried over into adulthood.

@linda6491 Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect! We’re glad you’re here!

Let's not use strong words here like "fault" and "should" if you don't know the whole story, please. Oh, I HAVE talked to him...many times! And he has talked to his kids many times. They were rather young and didn't live with him after the divorce; he did see them a lot, but there were other influences in their lives that were not, shall we say, interested in having those children have a good relationship with my side of the family. I think there was an unnecessary pulling of those kids away...I believe my son did as much as he could given his situation.
