Meh, you never know. Your son might care for you very much when he grows up.
I was a terrific mom, quite frankly. I adore kids and put my heart and soul into raising my children. I have no doubt that they both love me (they're 30 and 33). It's a good feeling....rewarding. But I hardly ever see them; they're always too busy...if they have time they spend it with friends. Calls and visits are rare, to say the least. I loved being with them when they were children, but sometimes I wonder what I did it all for...I'm so alone; so is my husband. Honestly, it hurts. All the time, quite frankly.
I've noticed that parents who had a rougher time raising their children...the adult kids seem far more attentive to and care about the parent. Makes me wonder.
