Two Of my children have all but forgotten me. I was always there for them. They were super towards me UNTIL they left home and melded with their environment. Their jobs and friends became everything to them. I am not seen as useful or necessary. They also see me as a moral failure because of my mental and emotional illnesses. One has 2 college degrees in the medical field and should know better.

This hurts...but you can't make your children love you. They become different people when they leave home. Sometimes it's a small change; Other times it seem like a monumental change. No mother should have to feel this pain.

Until/unless they come around you will have to rebuild your life. I am..and it's not been an easy task. Take care.
