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?

Unfortunately, your children dont appreciate you. Thats incredibly sad. If moving is something that could make you happy, you deserve it. Youve done your job.

that's very sad, but if you think you should move, you should move, your kids have grown up, its time to let them take charge of their lives,and if they are filial, they will remember you
