[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did you make that parent feel unwelcome in your life? Many parents of adult kids don’t want to be a burden so they give up reaching out if they get the cold shoulder. Were they neglectful or abusive? Did they do the best they could? Unless they truly were awful to you, you sort of need to step up. [/quote] No they don't need to step up. Parents choose to have children not the other way around. Parents govern that relationship. If the parent estranged themselves, they have to reap what they sow. If they wanted a good relationship they needed to foster that. OP, honestly I don't know what I would do if were you. I don't have the warm relationship with my parents that I would like, but they are good people and treat me and my children well. They never stopped caring about me, even though we are so different. Because I do love them, I would care for them.[/quote]
