[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 537993, member: 1514"] Im sorry animal lover. I kinda know what you are going through. We give so much of ourselves to everyone else to try to make their days special and no one returns in kind. One of our long time members began teaching her rather clueless son that he would get as good as he got as far as remembering holidays and special days like birthdays. It woke him up a bit when his birthday came and went a time or two without being remembered. Dont know if that would work in your family or not. I know that my family tends not to make a big deal out of me. I try hard to do for the ones who act nice to me. My middle son has all but forgotten me as far as presents or even a card for my birthday or Mothers Day since he left home almost 10 years ago and it ticks me off to no end. He has given his dad stuff, and some really nice things too, but I think I can remember two things I got and they were both useless. I just go on. My other two boys try. They always at least remember and tell me. Do something nice for yourself. I dont know what you like to do but whatever special thing it is that you enjoy, go do it. Make that your present and pretend its from whomever you want it to be from. Oddly the difficult child who I thought would not be doing for me is my biggest champion...lol. [/QUOTE]
