When Estrangement Complicates Becoming a Parent Yourself

I have not spoken to my parents in five years since they refused to accept my wife and now I am pregnant and part of me wants my child to have grandparents but I cannot trust them not to reject her too.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The desire to give one's child extended family conflicts with the need to protect them from rejection and harm.
