I'd toss her a lit match when she's good and saturated with O2.

what does that say about you if you foster similar resentment?



What if I don't want anything to do with the person and just want to forget they exist? I don't think that's resentment thats just getting the toxic out of your life.

Why should the siblings have to suffer the emotions of visiting their dying mother who abandoned them? Forget her and move on with your life.

I don't think very many people die wanting to be alone and without anyone supporting them. So I think its almost impossible to say that someone in that situation truly had a change of heart outside of their emotions from a looming death.

Given that, I'm not sure continuing to abandon a direct relative says a lot about someone personally no matter what they were put through by them.

Haha yea, me!

I'm just hoping he OD's soon. At least then she'll have some closure as an adult. He's on rehab #4 and is only 31. It's only a matter of time.

It doesn't really say anything without knowing the backstory. There are perfectly valid reasons to not want relationships with people, even family.

So you hooked up with a drug addict, conceived a child with a drug addict, and now act sanctimonious?

You seem like just the right amount of crazy.


How you doing?

Go to her. At that point it's about having no regrets in your life rather than your relationship with your mother.

I was in a similar situation but with my grandmother.

To her, she is simply still her mother and she perhaps has a final chance at having some kind of meaningful connection before the mother dies.

She is going to be very disappointed. The mother will still be a piece of shite. She wants her children to "forgive" her so she can die without regrets. Or money. Or both.

I cut my relationship with my father as I have no chance of getting anything meaningful out of it. Dealing with him was unpleasant and each interaction was more unpleasant than the last. In the process, I gave him a chance to own up to the things he had done. He said it was all my fault. I am glad I cut him out, and I would advice the daughter not reconnect. She will only be hurt.

relationships are two sided. You get into them what you put into them. To expect someone to forget that when someone who has only taken needs more is just ridiculous.

lol there isn’t anything similar about that. Your grandmother didn’t give birth to you, she doesn’t owe you much

I'm pretty sure this is a guy and he hooked up with some chick with terrible decision making skills. And now he refers to the girl's kid as his own.

Seems like they both are terrible at decision making.
