How to make amends with your child
I am hoping someone will help me. For starters my son and I have not spoken in a year. Out of all my kids he forgave me for not being there for my children as they were going up. he forgave me and we had the perfect relationship until 2005 where he met his wife. I felt this woman only was with my son for his money and father figure for her son. My son has not spoken to his sister in over 4 years because she stole some money from him. I feel he should forgive his sister and move on because money can be replace but your family can not. Once my son heard how I felt about this from his wife he stop talking to me. I have tried to apologize to my daughter in law but she does not answer the phone when i call her number. What can I do to possible have a relationship with my son. He tells me that he is through with me and doesnt want anything to do with me or his sister. I have tried calling him only for it to be sent to voicemail. The last thing he told me was his wife's family are his family now.I ask how do I make amends with my son.

Dear Nest,
I am a completely shittty parent and have been for years. Why can't I have everything I want in life right this minute? Without acknowledging anybody's perspectives or feelings but my own, of course.
Sincerely,
BSC OP
Another one:
I love how the sister steals 30k but his wife is the gold digger.
I wish I could tell him and his wife good job at getting rid of the worst part of their family.
Apparently his long-lost mother is a gold digger too. This is all about how he won't take care of her, support her, took her car.
She's pulling the same crap but since she's "family", that's OK, I guess.
My bet is that the DIL is the one who helped the son work through his abandonment issues and help him see he doesn't need to support someone who would just drop in every once in a great while.
And, BTW, who the fvck does that? And if you "weren't ready to have kids" keep your fvcking legs shut, FFS.
I can't believe that someone who has 6 kids and didn't raise any of them is on this big forgiveness kick and that 'family is the most important thing' rant. Then you should have raised your own damn kids if you wanted them to care about you.
I mean, everyone makes mistakes, but 6 frickin kids and you can't be bothered to be a parental figure in any of their lives until YOU need support and money from them.
Her son is definitely the smart one in that entire mess.
I hope the OP is reading this...
You can go fvck yourself. You are a heinous person. You kept shytting out kid after kid but couldn't be bothered to actually take care of them. And now in your old age (I bet you look like shyt, by the way), when you need someone to take care of you... NOW you decide that family is important?! Where was this theory of yours while your poor children were essentially raising themselves?!
And it sounds like YOU'RE the gold digger. Mommy's on a "fixed income" (get a fvcking job) so NOW she's all about being a mother. You are a disgusting, deplorable human being.

I know. I mean six? Really? With one or two is semi-kinda-ok-ish if she put them up for adoption. That is what is it for, can't seem to give flying f@ck about your own kids? Well here is someone who will.
It's sad but it sounds like the only reason she came back is because he was making bank and she wanted to get rid of her guilt.
If she used better spelling and grammar she could be my own mother.
FFS!
Hey, lady. You do not get the special prize in the winter of your life by having a loving family that takes care of you. You did not raise them. You did not care. Tough shiit you're a train wreck now.
All i hear is, he took your car away because you're a piece of shiit. He was there for you when you needed him, but you were never there for him. He has a great life now, and is happy, taking vacations with his hard earned money and not blowing it on you. Oh, poor you, right? BOO HOO
You might actually have to support your own miserable self because that's all you gave a shiit about since day one. That's right, get a J O B and pay your B I L L S.
~Pardon me if this hits a little close to home.~
You should change your name to SELFISH. What you are saying makes no sense what so ever. This coming from a woman who had six children and raised none of them. It seems like your son has a good head on his shoulders he is lucky that he was raised by his father and not you. Maybe you should try therapy to work on your issues.
Yeah, this was also the reason for my reaction.
