We've grown apart.
In 2000 my grandparents got divorced, by this time I was seven years old, & I didnt think old people was supposed to divorce, needless to say, my grandpa had found someone over the internet. He left my grandma, I see my grandma almost everyday, but in the past 8 years, I bet I could count on one hand how many times I've seen my papaw, and I could count on maybe three fingers how many times he's told me he loves me since the separation.
This Christmas was the first Christmas I'd seen my Grandpa in a longg time. I miss him soo much, I'm so afraid that I dont have much time to restore our relationship. And something else that doesnt help, this woman, that lives with him, wont even let me see him. I use to call, when I was little, to go over to their house to see him, and she would say that I wasnt invited, and it was rude to invite myself, and anyhow they were busy. I dont have any other grandpa, he died before I was born, and I'm just so angry, and hurt, that my grandpa, the only one I've ever had, wont even take the time to call me, to tell me he loves me, he wont even wave when he see's me.
I was watching this video tonight...

& it instantly reminded me of him. He's not going to be here forever...
Please, I just need someone to talk to, someone to comfort me.
Thanks, all is appreciated.

I am SO sorry this has happened to you. It's a terrible situation. But unfortunately, people of all ages get divorced for all kinds of reasons. Including one of them meeting someone else. And it's not suppose to happen. But it does, as you know. And I'm afraid there's nothing you can do to change it.
And I'm sure your grandpa loves you. But sometimes when people get in situations like that the person they are with wants them to have nothing to do with their family because they are jealous. And I bet that's why she didn't want you around. She knows he loves you and she doesn't want to share that love.
Hopefully your grandpa will come around and not let his relationship with her keep him from you forever. But if it does work out that way, just try to focus on the people around you that do show you their love. And keep yourself busy helping others and showing love yourself. I have found this really helps. Spend fun time with your grandma. Volunteer someone helping people, like a nursing home or homeless shelter. When you focus on helping others, it helps keep your mind off your pain, and it makes you feel good to make a difference in someone else's life.
I hope this helps. Hang in there.
