[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow.  I feel for your kids.  You sound terrible.  I miss my mom so much.

I love my adult children and they bring me so much joy, as do my little grandchildren.  My husband died unexpectedly and they are the reason I get out of bed and participate in my life.[/quote]

OP. I love my child and my mom, despite our fighting. I often feel my child doesn’t do a good job of showing me they love me. It’s not a question of love. Maybe it’s wondering why when I’ve tried so hard. I’m sorry your husband died. That would be incredibly hard.

I probably will not have grandchildren for medical reasons, but that has nothing to do with my questioning. I don’t feel like I’m owed them or anything.

I do know that both my grandmother and my mother had much better relationships with me and my child when we were little and loved them unconditionally. They both struggled to have good relationships with us as we became older and developed opinions they didn’t always like. In fact, I’ve seen that with a lot of the grandparent/grandchildren relationships I know. [/quote]
