Graham Nash Won’t Reconcile With Kids After He Dated Another Woman Post-Divorce as It ‘Too Painful’

The member of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young refuses to fix his relationship with his kids as he ‘can’t live in pain’ after his kids ‘don’t want’ him to be a part of their lives.

AceShowbiz –Graham Nash refuses to mend a long-running rift with his kids because he “can’t live in pain.” The member of Crosby, Stills & Nash and Young admitted he fell out with his sons Jackson and Will and daughter Nile after he left their mother, Susan Sennett, in 2016 to embark on a romance with artist Amy Grantham, and they still “don’t want” him to be a part of their lives.

“They didn’t realize that I had divorced their mother, not them,” the 80-year-old musician, who married Amy in 2019, told The Guardian newspaper. “So they don’t want me in their lives … My daughter is a little friendlier than my boys.”

When asked if he struggles to be apart from his kids, he replied, “It’s terrible. So I’m doing remarkably well considering everything.”

Graham insisted he didn’t know if it was the fact that he married a younger woman that upset his kids, but he has no plans to reconcile with them because it is too “painful” to try.

“I don’t know (why they are so angry). People have to live their lives,” he said. “People become who they are, and I realize my kids are not the people I thought they were, that my fatherly eyes glossed over their shortcomings …”

“Actually I don’t (want a reconciliation). And that might seem awfully strange as a father, but it’s too painful,” he further confessed. “I can’t live my life in pain. If they don’t want me in their lives, that’s their choice. I don’t agree with it, but I will honor their choice.”

Graham was married to his first wife, Rose Eccles, from 1964 until 1966 and after they split, he went on to start a family with Susan, who he was married to for 36 years before they split.
