Unfortunately, I do not have a very close relationship with my mother ( nor does my brother) but I would never be so disrespectful to her by calling her names and swearing.
My children and my husband also treat her with respect because she is my mother. |
My son has to live with her, so he goes along with whatever she says. As far as seeing the children, they live in the UK. so I don't see them anyway.
I believe that my son should contact me and keep the lines of communication open, however he goes which ever way the wind blows.
I have helped these two financially on three occasions, (the last time he asked, I said NO) and they do not keep up with their payments to me, which has also put a strain on the relationship.
I do not cut off communication because of this, I will call to remind my son that I need a payment, I had to borrow the money on his behalf because he went through a nast divorce and it ruined his credit. but I don't turn it into an argujment, however she does.
When I call to remind them, then she claims that the only time I call is to get money, and I should be more concerned about whether my grandsons have diapers and formula than about that loan payment. I tell them that their children are not my responsibility. (they are already living with her parents, for God's sake.) And that if they can't make their monthly obligations, then maybe she should get a job. They aren't even grateful enough to make their payments to me.
