Shunning is the most effective method to breaking the spirit & is used by cults to control.. & I guess you could say Grandparent/ Grandchild alienation is now a worldwide cult with many millions of followers.. due in part to cancel culture "therapists" & the entitled generation whose misguided parents wanted them to have everything they didn't..
"Ostracism is any act of banishing, shunning, ignoring, or excluding. It can be carried out by one individual upon another or by a group. It comes in many forms and levels of severity. Most of us can relate to common examples: feeling left out, giving or receiving the silent treatment, time-outs for misbehavior, locking oneself in a room after an argument, hanging up the phone in mid-conversation, unanswered email, and ending a friendship or relationship. A few of us have experienced other more severe forms of ostracism: peer rejection in schools, excommunication, banishment, or solitary confinement.
Recent studies have shown that the emotional impact of rejection and ostracism upon an individual can be devastating, especially if the form of ostracism used was severe and prolonged. Although the emotional wounds are not visible to the naked eye, they can be more painful and longer lasting than physical wounds. It is my hope that information provided in this website will help more people understand this pervasive social phenomenon, and provide relief for people suffering from severe ostracism."

Our Story
GranPower Est 2006 ~ Empowering Grandparents who have been denied contact with their Grandchildren, founded by Sarah Campbell: [email protected]
Grand-parenting is probably the greatest reward in a parent’s life. Good parenting is a difficult job and somehow everyone seems to depend on you. Grand-parenting on the other hand, comes at a time in your life when you can give the little ones what parents often don’t have the time for – as parents’ lives are busy and everything needs doing yesterday – you know this because you’ve been there. As a Grandparent the hard slog is in the past; financial and emotional responsibilities associated with the thousands of needs and wants of children over many years, are thankfully fading. And most Grandparents I know agree:
If I had known Grandchildren were so much fun I would have had them first!
However, having said this, one can only be the grandparent one is allowed to be. And if the joy of contact with your cherished Grandies is stolen from yours and their lives completely and often abruptly, the results can be devastating, with the repercussions felt by every extended family member. Overwhelming grief and the powerlessness associated with the loss of Grandchildren through petty family disputes or death of a child and subsequent loss of Grandchildren is extreme. And the trauma caused to the children, that these little ones may think we have abandoned them is very often too much to bare. Most days /moments we run the entire gauntlet of emotions; anger, fear, shock, regret, sadness, depression, guilt, confusion, disbelief, and love too, for the parent/s who are controlling these events.
Even though we live in a restricted modern nuclear family era, we are no less affected by disruptions to the extended family:
‘When you look at a family tree, every person that is within that family tree is born into a spiritual inheritance. And when that person isn’t there, there’s a void. There’s something missing on that tree. And that person has to be slotted back into his rightful position within the extended family. While that person is missing from the extended family, then that family will continue to grieve and continue to have dysfunctions within it. Until the rightful person comes and takes their spiritual inheritance within that family.’
(As discussed by Kevin Booter, Link-Up, NSW Aboriginal Corp. Ltd., in the
‘Bringing Them Home’ National Inquiry into the Separation of Aboriginal and
Torres Strait Islander Children from their Families, by the late Sir Ronald Wilson)
