[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I understand you are feeling upset and abandoned, but your mother is in a much worse situation. It sounds like the stress is getting to her but she can’t do anything about it because those poor kids need her. I don’t have any advice other than take the long view and try to feel some compassion for your mom.[/quote]

Okay, I get it. But I'm here a short time. I won't even see her at the holidays. I haven't seen her in over a year. These kids didn't even know her up until a few months ago. Here's the thing, they also have 2 other sets of grandparents. My mom has volunteered herself to do all this. And my stepbrother works from home and regularly takes off and leaves in the middle of the day. I feel angry. I have been slighted so many times in my life and not had a mom when I needed one. She also raised my stepsister's kids. She quit her job to raise the first kid (she returned to college when my parents divorced which meant I didn't have a mom around growing up because she was in school). [/quote]
