It is really hard to reach out to somebody and feel that it is not wanted or appreciated. I have had to dis-associate myself with my own parents and other family members. It hurts to not have that connection, but I have learned to cope with it. The biggest losers are the kids. They don't understand why they act like that. I certainly have no idea. My father turned 63 yesterday....I didn't even bother to call him. Sad. He doesn't even know his grandchildren & honestly, I don't think I really know him. I wish your visit had gone better!
