[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 271244, member: 1550"] I'm trying to start a Crisis Line Post for Mother's Day...lol. Two of my grown kids usually call me--they are out of town and neither has much money, so I don't expect or care about gifts. But one kid disowned the entire family and on Mother's Day it hurts. Still, I don't blame myself. Relationships are so complicated. Who knows why people, even our kids, behave the way they do? I'm 55 years old and for the rest of my life, I'm going to put myself in high esteem even if nobody else does :winking:. After all I've been taking care of kids all my life, and it's time for me to look after me. I can't waste time looking back to see if I should have done it differently. I did the best I knew how. If the kids don't appreciate it, I can't help it and I refuse to devalue myself. There! :knockedout: [/QUOTE]
