There is so much estrangement in my family. My grown son and daughter don't really speak. My daughter really goes off on me sometimes. My husband and I struggle. I am really trying to be nice to everyone but I have been catching it right and left. It is especially hard when I get them presents for birthdays and such. Sometimes they are thankful and sometimes I get ignored or criticized. Everything is up and down. Trouble is I am trying too hard to please and tonight I am really suffering for it.

I know what you mean. I have trouble buying gifts, too. I have gotten to the point where I ask my grown children to make me a list. Sometimes they just want money.

Alas, we moms often get caught in the middle. It's sad when our kids don't get along, but ultimately that's their problem. I try to get busy with my own things.
Thanks for this!
