[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think its fine to skip a year and prioritize your immediate family and time with your kids. I think it would be nice for the adults to visit their parent alone. But if you really don't have that type of relationship then don't feel guilty. [/quote] Yes - to be clear, I visited my mother regularly (and she visited us regularly) before she died. My dad has never made us a priority and has always been emotionally abusive. He didn’t visit us much even when he was young, healthy, and had time and money. Step-mom is younger than I am (by a year) so they don’t really need help. The relationship feels performative. [/quote] Well that changes things. Then don't feel guilty--visit when you can. I'd limit it to just you going in the future. Because it sounds like they could travel to you (if step mom is that young) [/quote]
