[quote=Anonymous]My mother is like this OP and she’s 1.5 hours away. My kids are now 19 & 16 and she’s basically shown zero interest in them this entire time. My father (when he was alive) was very interested in my kids but was in extremely poor health and relied on my mother to take him places and she controlled his schedule. So all my father was really able to do was talk on the phone with them (which my son loved, they would talk all the time). But he’s been gone for over 6 years now and my mother had claimed that since she no longer is my father’s care taker she’d be able to see my kids much more but that hasn’t happened.

She has been emeshed and very involved with my sister’s kids (providing regular after school care, babysitting, watching them when she goes on vacation, paying for their camps, activities and tuition, etc) but my mother and sister recently got in an argument over something and my sister cut off my mom. So now she suddenly acts like she wants to see my kids and can’t comprehend how I have a college student and a HS junior. She missed their entire childhoods.

Over the years it has really hurt my feelings. I couldn’t understand why she rejected my kids so much. In the end it may be her loss but my kids suffered. [/quote]
