[quote=Anonymous]You are wrong in many ways.  Yes, I understand when your mother was in the hospital, especially if you had to go in and out to deal with all of the assorted life issues.  We had to help my sister in a like situation and it did require daily visits with doctors, therapists, financial aid, finding the right specialists and the right assisted living that accommodated her needs.

However, once your mother moved to assisted living, you should have prioritized your son and made it happen.  Your husband is semi-retired and you work part-time and you couldn't make it happen?  That's the final stroke to why he is so hurt.  So, you work Sundays.  So what?  Why don't you fly down on Thursday afternoon (flights are cheaper anyways), have dinner Thursday, spend some time around their town on Friday, have a nice brunch, have dinner Friday, enjoy spending time on Saturday and fly back Saturday evening?  Then you're home for work on Sunday.

If this doesn't work, find a way to make it work.   You've spent the last several months blowing your son off and you're surprised that he's hurt and doesn't want to come back a third time in that same time when you've made no effort to think of him during this time?  You haven't been a very good mother for several months.  Time to step up and do the right thing.  If you don't make it happen before then go down Easter weekend.  I doubt you're working on Easter Sunday.[/quote]
