One thing I DON'T have is guilt over caring for my parents... because I did move and take care/have contact with them as I could---nearby. (My 5 siblings moved far away.) Even moving closer to my mom which cost me thousands...and here I am stuck in this town still ten years after her passing. BUT I did this not only because I loved them both (some of that unrequited) and believe it is my responsibility according to God's Word... but because I believe that I surely did not want any guilt to be founded. I wanted to be right where I am---no regrets in that respect.

In today's society there are a myriad of ways to "stay in touch" and I suggest you do so...if not daily (depending upon how old and active they are) to at least weekly.

I crave contact from my sons. I usually have to egg them on with a text, and even then sometimes get nothing back. I am alone, and aging, and disabled... and they "know better" and follow God in other areas... and I surely don't understand why they aren't in contact---

I think you can work this out for all involved.
