Are there many others on here who have find themselves having to be a Single Grandparent following the knock? I have decided to stay with my OH. I have been asked not to put Granddad's name on any Christmas /birthday gifts I send. I am finding this so difficult. And humiliating. Anyone else in this situation?

Yes I am. I don't really post on here anymore, but I'm the same and I wanted you to know your not alone. Its 4 years I been doing the single grandparent. I was also told no name on cards etc. My child has a great relationship with their dad, but doesn't want SS in their lifes. It was hard at first and I still get a little teary, the grandchildren have stop asking about him. I have a great relationship with them and we do little holidays together. My H comes off the SOR next year and I don't think it will change. I do find it hard, I make it work, but I'm not getting any younger.
