My kids (who range between 22-30 years of age) are cold to me. My kids contact me when they need answers to questions, a co signer on a loan, a place to live, a babysitter -- never for just the 'hey, how are you doing mom' thing.
I lost my own mother when I was 24 and have tried to be the mom I would have appreciated having. Not interfering in their lives, but being there for them, when ever they needed me or wanted me. But I can't say the same for them.
I watched my son's last girlfriend die last year. He can't understand why I am not thrilled that he already got married to someone else and is expecting a baby anytime. His new wife has no respect for me and I am supposed to be just fine with that.
My husband and I seperated (never to reunite) three years ago because I couldn't handle his drinking/abusive attitude toward me.
I am very much considering moving to another state, start my life anew and try to find some happiness before I die. Is that selfish of me?
