[quote=Anonymous]My mother divorced my father when I was 10 and I never visited and only called sporadically over the years.  She spent the years chasing after the next great guy rather than being interested in her kids.  I didn't talk to her for many years, but when I had a health issue I called her for family history info and we talk superficially about 1 x per month (mostly about her health problems) for about 10 minutes.  She has superficially said before that she would like to see my kids someday, but has never followed up and only really asks about my kids as a transition to talking about herself.  Today on the phone, she said that she wasn't celebrating Christmas because it is hard for her due to her regrets.  I feel sad for her as a person, but the other part of me is angry.  What am I supposed to say, she made her choices over and over again.  She was not and is not a good person because of her own childhood issues, she is a bitter person who is looking for others to blame.  Even without the abandonment, she is a toxic person who just likes to say mean things about others and she creeps me out when she is talking about men.  Okay, vent over.[/quote]
