You are 57 years old, You Have 4 living sisters and 1 brother. You were abused by your mother as a child. (physically but more verbally). You got married right out of high school. (to get away). You became a good wife and Mom and included the "family" in holiday and other activities. (forgive & forget right?) When the marriage did not work out after 10+ years. Your Mom turned against you and began to badmouth you again. I've lived a good, clean, healthy and prosperous life but, none of my family wants to have anything to do with me because of her lies. We have been estranged 23 years now. I've tried, even through my children (they don't speak to them either) but, no success. As I get older this weighs on me. What to do?

My mother never could accept my relationship with my Dad. Although he treated all his kids fairly there was always a special feeling with the two of us (don't go getting and ideas either).

I would remind myself I tried and did the very best I could. If that's not good enough for others then too bad, that's on them not me. Loyalty only goes so far and I gotta look out for number one. And I would promise myself to never be like them.

u have to talk to your mother,seriously and try not to argue and find out what her problem really is and let her know that it upsets you.It may be hard but when you get it over with you will feel much better,trust me.

as much as i believe blood is thicker than water i dont think think you family is worth it ... the best thg for you to do is forgive and move on ... dont waste anymore of your life on people who do not deserve it .. concentrate on yourself and your lovely kids .. wish you all the best ...

Set your mom straight but bring someone who can help you when you do it. like your old husband or someone. i hope I'm not offending you with the ex-husband and all.

That really sucks. I'd say that your family isn't worth talking to, honestly. I mean, that might sound kinda lame, but, I'd say they can go to hell.

Best thing for you is to have as much sex as possible

There is something missing. Why she's not talking to you?
