[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 324485, member: 84"] TM No. You shouldn't be. Your relationship with your Mom is what it is. It was a two way street. in my opinion My dad is sitting in a nursing home somewhere in Indiana. Do I feel bad about that? Do I feel bad he has no visitors? Nah, not really. I wish him no ill will. But he is the man he is and he never wanted "real" relationships with anyone. In the end, he got exactly what he wanted. I pity him. My Mom's health at 72 is beginning to go. There is really no one back home to help her these days. While we will never be close.......she's more like one of those relatives you just can't get rid of....lol I still suggested she could come to live in town here. I did [B][I]not[/I][/B] suggest she could come live with me. She did not raise me. I have never had mother/daughter feelings for the woman. Her fault, not mine. She tells me all the surgeries she's been having for her eyes and such and it not so much as phases me emotionally. I can be kind to her as I can anyone. But the emotion just is so not there. She asked me just today if I planned on going to her funeral. (I haven't been home in like 13 plus years) I said it would depend on if I had the money/way to get there or not. Now that I've managed to come across as a cold hearted *itch.....lol in my opinion, you reap what you sow. A bond was never formed between me and my parents. It's sure not gonna happen at the age of 45. Know what I mean?? Hugs [/QUOTE]
