74% Informative

Dear Abby : My mom didn't enjoy my children when they were growing up and didn't connect deeply with them.

When the children tried to share things that were going on in their lives, she wasn't interested.

Now that her grands have almost reached adulthood, my mother wants to connect with them. She texts them often and sometimes invites them to visit.

But to them, she is a distant relative. They don’t feel close to her.
