I just have one grown son ... and he likes me! He thinks I'm kind of dorky sometimes, but that's "normal"! :)

You don't focus on that donut hole..you focus on the donut. Leave behind that which is unchangeable and move forward forcusing on what is possible. :) You have other children..other family..other friends. You can't win 'em all so you suck it up and don't look back. Maybe one day the kid will approach you and want a relationship. The ball is in the kid's court, not yours, so I'd leave it alone. :)

Respect there space. When they need help they will come around just dont pressure them

I have a 27 year old son that told me that I and all his siblings were dead to him. This was 9 years ago that he told me this. It took about 5 years, but I finally came to the conclusion to just move on and enjoy the family that I have here. If he ever wants to have a relationship, I'm open to it.

Was there something in the past that caused your child to drift away? You have to find the root of the problem and work from there.

I have a grown daughter. When her mother and her family turned her against me it has always hurt. I miss her and talking to her. Sometimes it seemed like things would be getting better. I have given up calling her and she never calls me. I have not talked to her in about 9 months now. I have a grand daughter and a great grand son now...I have seen my great grandson twice and he is now 4. They all live about a 9 hour drive from me. Any children who read this, if at all possible have at least a talking relationship with your parents. They love you and miss you. I know there are some cases this may not be true...but for the most part it is true. It really hurts to be rejected by your children.

I'm the kid that doesn't talk to mom. SO, I can only answer from the flip side. I've read that you should move on, refocus, and so forth. I know that it's been nearly a year for my personal situation with no looking back. I'll tell you this - I wouldn't have done it, if I didn't truly feel compelled to be where i am. I can't speak for the individual situation, but I can say this. I wish my parents had, at least once, stepped back and wondered what repelled me so much. Maybe everything could be a little different, if that were the case.
