[quote=Anonymous]I am sorry OP. My mother is somehow completely uninterested in me, my life or my children but is completely obsessed with my sister and her kids. My sister does interfere with my mother ever spending time with us, constantly calling and texting her on the rare occasions my mother did visit, so my mother would then decide to leave. She proclaims my sister "needs her more".

My mother pays for tons of things for my sister's kids (tuition, vacations, camps, activities) and is always with them. If I ask her to come to one of kid's games or events, she will always cancel or just say she has a conflict with my sister or her kids.

I eventually just gave up. I told my sister how I felt, told her to stop calling or trying to interfere with my mother trying to visit us and she said she didn't see what the problem was and she liked the status quo/help. So I don't really talk to my sister anymore either. I stopped initiating contact to see if they would contact me, and they don't.

It's incredibly hurtful. I have been in therapy over it and I just have to move on. I will never get what I want nor will my children get the grandparent I know they deserve and I know my mother can be (because she is to their cousins). If my mother wanted to be involved, she would. She isn't. I can't change it. [/quote]
