How many of us have adult difficult children we don't talk to?

[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 178004, member: 84"] bertie I have stepgfg who has been in my life since she was just 3 yrs old. We haven't had contact since she took the kids and ran 6 yrs ago. At that point I was simply finished. Done. Kaputt. I don't know how to put it into words. But believe me there is no doubt once you've reached that point, even with a child you love. Stepgfg has recently contacted the family again via MySpace thru Nichole. As I've posted here. The parental love for stepgfg is still there. But the desire to be involved with her life is not. Once we were pretty close, and I'd worked hard for that relationship. Do I see us rebuilding the relationship or being close again?? Seriously doubtful. Most likely not. I don't mind getting news on the grandkids. (if it's true) Or pics....if she ever does happen to send some......But I have no desire to speak with stepgfg at all. Do I feel sorry for her........No. She did it to herself. Sad as that is, it's the honest truth. Do I feel sorry for Kayla and Alex and the newest grandchild Evan. You betcha, I do. We're all the family they have. (Dad has no family at all) And because of stepgfg they don't even have us. Sometimes the things we break can't ever be fixed.:frowny: ((((hugs)))) [/QUOTE]
