[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous[b]]OP's mom really doesn't have an obligation towards anybody[/b], not to help her DD not to take care of grand children.  And you know what, good for her, she obviously did a lot before, hence OP's entitled attitude.  OP doesn't even know why they divorced, kids always know why parents divorced.  It seems to me that OP was self involved person who never took interest in her parents, unless it benefited her.  Now that it would benefit her that mom helps, mom is basically saying, screw you.  I am old and want to have some fun and too bad, too sad for you, who never gave me and my needs a thought before.[/quote]

You sound like one bitter, resentful person. Did no one ever tell you that having kids is a thankless job?

No one is saying that OP's mom has an [b]obligation[/b] to do anything. But if she wants to have a relationship with her daughter, she has to play the relationship game, i.e. give a shit about the other person's feelings at least in the form of concern and empathy. Isn't this behavior you'd expect from any friend you'd involve yourself with?

Did no one teach you about relationship give and take? Or did you instead learn that martyring yourself was the only way to go and now your resentment about it has caused you to lose your mind? [/quote]
