Being Supportive of My Granddaughter’s Parents
I’m a grandmother to a three-year-old girl who lives in another country. Due to COVID restrictions I have not met her, but I see videos and photos.
I have a positive relationship with my son (her dad), thanks to time spent thinking and feeling about racism, classism, and parents’ oppression when my sons were young. I am still learning about racism and the impact of colonialism on my granddaughter’s family in her country.
Re-evaluation Counseling has helped me be supportive of my granddaughter’s parents. They are the best parents they can be. They combine traditions with new ways and ideas to make their daughter’s life go better. And they love their daughter fiercely.
