[quote=Anonymous]I am so sorry OP. Remember that your kids don't know what lies ahead (assuming they have not experienced grief), while you do. They are also not losing a parent, unlike you. Still, kids are selfish/self-centered at that age. They usually have little experience meeting other people's needs. I have felt this disappointment with my college aged kid as well. You are not a failure. They just need time. Look to your friends and husband or siblings (if you have the latter). They should be more able to support you or at least relate to what you are experiencing. It can't be made easy. And if you need your kids to step up more right now, try to articulate why you need to them to do that. As another poster said, this is one way they will learn how to be there for others in times of trouble. Hugs, and peace to you and your dad....[/quote]
