[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The way I see it, "I'm out" means I'm out. Not lingering around playing nice. Mother did her time. They are not married any more, so she owes nothing.  She might have been nicer to the kids, but probably was afraid of getting sucked back in emotionally..[/quote]

See, that's the thing that is so appalling about some of the responses in this thread. The mother didn't just divorce the husband, she abandoned her kids when they needed her emotional support. And then she had the gall to complain about not having a good relationship or visiting! It's the height of entitlement. My jaw dropped at some of the responses calling OP selfish. If anything, her mother has ruined her relationship with her adult children by being selfish. I don't see how they will ever have a meaningful relationship because she's shown who she is now. Someone who can't be trusted when you need them.

I don't know how or where these posters are coming from bashing OP. From my view, I couldn't imagine putting a child in this position divorced or not. [/quote]

This. The mom could have been supportive of her daughters and maintained distance from their dad. [/quote]
