Phillipa, I think this is a distortion. This is how you have often said here that you feel about yourself. You are very young In appearance and attitude, and, anyway, most people are much more accepting of aging, and even see positives in it in terms of experience. I think it is more likely that they appreciate that about you, and would enjoy interacting with you. If they are angry, it's much more likely to be because they feel hurt or rejected in someway by you. For example, I'm not sure, but do you experience social anxiety when you visit, and do not do it as much as you once did?
A wonderful approach might be the one you suggested: developing closer relationships - with your grandchildren - through the social media. This seems to be an area where you are very comfortable, and I would imagine your own children would appreciate the efforts you make. It might eventually lead to similiar relationships with them.
