Grandparents
Grandparents Mediation
When family relationships change after a breakup, grandchildren of any age can be affected. Changes can be sudden and unclear. You may see tension between generations or different sides of the family, and grandchildren can be left feeling confused or unsettled.
How you might be feeling
• Overlooked or side-lined as a grandparent
• Pulled into arguments or family disputes
• Pressured to choose between people you care about
• Isolated from friends or routines you relied on
• Anxious about holidays and family gatherings
These situations can feel deeply personal and difficult to navigate without support.
