Hi lost...

I understand that pain. I felt it for so many years. My parents have no interest in my life or the lives of their grandchildren. It was only just a few years ago that I found out that it wasn't just me (I thought I was the black sheep of the family so I blamed myself for their behavior). They are the same way with my brother and sister and their families. My sister is especially hurt by it...she did everything so right so its harder for her to understand.

I call occasionally and have visited them. My mother sends a Christmas card every year. But in 20 years my parents have never visited or even called me.
