I think losing mama must be one of the worst blows there is

Losing dad is pretty rough as well. At least when he was as wonderful of a person as mine was.

I have a good friend who hasn’t spoken to his mother for years. Totally cut her off from his life and from seeing his kids. The Mom actually brought a lawsuit against him, claiming she had a right to see her grandkids. The best she got was a phone call once a week. This was a few years back, so not sure if she still gets the phone call, all I know is, my friend’s Mom is still dead to him.

Going on 4 years with my mom. She left the family one day, without giving any reason, and never came back. She left on her terms and I get to bring her back into my life on mine.

as a parent and grandparent I try to be kind, understanding and appreciative of my children. I don't ask them for things and allow them to live their lives they way they choose. We purposely do not interfere in their lives , marriages and parenting. I am blessed with good kids .

We both grew up in very dysfunctional, broken homes. We wanted to give our children something we never had. A home with both parents.

Our parents are all gone now-they are in a better place and I prefer to wait until my turn comes to reunite.

I have a great relationship with my father and my siblings. My siblings feel the same way about our mother as me. I wish it was not the way it is but at some point its more important to keep a toxic person away from my kids and care for them.

I had a friend several years ago, who never contacted his parents. When he was about twenty, he brought his girl friend/fiancee home to visit his parents. They were rude to the young lady, so he left, married the young lady, and had not been in contact since. His kids were in HS and had never had contact with their grandparents.

Spoken with my stepmom once in the last 4 years. Dad has been dead for a few years longer and we got along fine.. I nearly died 4 years ago and she never once checked on me, never inquired about my long recovery and when my wife called to ask for some medical records related to my fathers death… She promptly said she had to pick up one of her sons from the doctors office .. saw her at my uncles funeral and say hello and goodbye.. she’s a drunk who just recently got out of rehab in her 70s. Loser bipolar bitch.. I’ve contemplated many time in making things difficult for her regarding my fathers estate but have held off.. fricking count.

My money is on you not talking to your parents because you grew up in a trailer.

It's crazy how many times the idea of an inheritance can send a loving family into complete chaos

It's terrible but happens all the time. The idea of getting money makes people turn evil

Yes they don’t talk to me because I voted for Trump.
