John, a retired teacher in his seventies, felt hurt when his grown children became distant, rarely calling or visiting. Instead of reacting with frustration, he chose a different path. Each morning, he’d sit quietly, think of each child with love, and send silent blessings for their happiness and peace. Over time, something shifted. One day, his eldest daughter called, sharing how she’d recently felt a deep sense of warmth and wanted to reconnect. Slowly, the other children reached out too. John realized that his calm, quiet love had brought his family back together, without a single word of complaint. Have a nice day to everyone!

I also believe what and how you sow you’ll heap the same in return. Love your children when they’re young, set good examples yourself by being kind and generous with your affection and love, they will love you in return no matter where they go or how far they’ll live away from you in their adult lives, they’ll always remember you with love and longing. So start by being a good parent yourself.

I have a grown daughter who is 58. We did so very much to help her even after she devastated our hearts. When we finally said “no more money” we became trash to her.

What you are seeing is the influence of their mates(wife/husband) Never forget that you are their Mother and even if they are adults you still have power over them. Never wish them bad because it will happen. A Mother can bless and can curse. Pray for them instead for their protection and that of their children your grandchildren. The Psalms in the Bible are powerful, and as a Traditional Catholic i also use other prayers to the Saints of the Almighty God and yes the results are phenomenal

[@tennysoneffie6943]

I agree with most of the parental comments here. I found it amusing when I told my 2 adult children that my future intentions were to travel; listing out the countries I intended to visit. I could see them counting the cost in their minds. Immediately my daughter in law jumped in and said, “ You must come and stay with us”…….. My gut reaction was to wonder how long it would be before they took control of my money and my house. I know it’s lonely and sad that our grown children disregard and disrespect us but come on! We must do things that make us happy and let all that negative energy that binds us to the people we love, simply let it go. I have learned how to do this. I still speak occasionally with them. I am loving and courteous with them and my grandchildren but they no longer have the stranglehold on me they used to have. I have let go and it’s so liberating. I have no expectations that they will be decent honourable young men. We all have a duty of care to ourselves to be healthy, happy people, so instead of focusing on their bad behaviour use that energy to grow old gracefully and with integrity.

Those of us commenting on this issue, I understand and share many of the same issues with you too. At 71, I have realized and learned: 1)We don’t own our children, 2) We have different values and expectations- due to our age differences, 3) In last 50 years or so, the changes in the economic, social and most importantly the technological and digital advances, have over ride the norms from the past generations. I have lived most of my life, and every passing moment is a reminder that “expectation” from my children means they “owe” me, which they don’t. Let them taste their own realities in life which you and I had a completely different one. Not sure which one was/is better though!

Each of us bare the constant hurt from the abandonment of a child. It’s a loss so great we feel defeated. My only son decided to throw myself and my husband his father to the curb with no explanation. Refusing to have any conversations about the brokenness is our family. We do not have any connections to our grandchildren either. The loss has broken his father and I. It has taken me over a year to finally let go. Yes, I am still sad and hurt. The grieving process is ongoing because he is still alive. We are in perpetual limbo. As I stated previously, I finally mustard up the courage to finally write a final goodbye letter to start my process of healing. Now in our seventies it’s time to only remember when times were wonderful. We no longer will allow his abandonment to destroy whatever time we have left. Much love to all who face the same situations with their own children.

Your shouldn't have to buy your kids love, respect, or beg them. Get busy!!! 🌻

[@Curlyblonde]

Have done all your suggestions over the years, no change in children's behavior. They remain disrespectful, selfish, dishonest and abusive. Best to face the reality of what you are dealing with and not expend further precious time and energy on a toxic situation that resist change. There comes a point when you realize that the relationship is harmful to your well-being and spirit. Wish them well and all the best in life, but I protect myself from them and realize the relationship is better off ended. You just continually stab yourself in the heart and make yourself an easy, willing target for their malice. Your principles are well-intentioned but that's assuming that you are dealing with reasonable, compassionate people with a conscience. Unfortunately not in my case with my children. I concentrate on relationships with other positive, upbuilding people and activities. Sometimes the best, more mutually happy relationships we can have is with those people we are not related to. Hope your message does bear fruit with others.

No, Mary, most of how children act comes from the parents and others around them. They learn a lot by example. Respect, love, kindness, and caring comes from their parents. How they see others treat people and how even the child is treated. I know a lot of kids who grew up in loving homes and they are very respectful and caring adults. Yes, kids go through phases and that's the time parents need to be understanding, loving and also firm in their discipline. Genetics does not have anything to do with being mean or disrespectful to others. Those are learned behaviors and some are just human behaviors that the child will show because they are learning. When they fight over a toy even at 6 months of age they are just showing a human trait. Normal process of growing up. It's how a parent handles the situation and the child. Children need to learn to say I'm sorry and they need to learn forgiveness. The Bible is a good book for learning about love and how to live a happy life and how to raise happy children.

I’m truly sorry to hear that you’re going through this. A breakup, especially after such a long relationship, can feel like a deep wound, and your pain is completely valid. When you lose someone you love deeply, it's not just the loss of a person; it's the loss of dreams, plans, and the shared life you imagined. It’s okay to feel the way you do, and trying to stop the thoughts of her abruptly can sometimes amplify them. Allow yourself to grieve this loss without pressuring yourself to move on quickly. Healing doesn’t mean you have to forget her or act like she didn’t matter-she did, and your feelings for her were real. Here are a few steps that might help you process these intense emotions: 1. **Accept Your Emotions**: It’s okay to miss her and still have deep feelings. Don’t try to bury your emotions because that can make them stronger. Acknowledge your pain and give yourself permission to feel sad or lost. 2. **Seek Support**: Talking to someone you trust-a friend, family member, or even a therapist-can help ease the weight of your emotions. Sometimes, expressing your pain to others can be cathartic. 3. **Focus on Yourself**: Take some time to rediscover what makes you happy outside of this relationship. Engaging in hobbies, learning new things, or investing in your personal growth can give you a new focus. 4. **Limit Triggers**: If seeing things that remind you of her makes it harder, gently distance yourself from those reminders. Give yourself the space to heal, and maybe consider unfollowing her on social media or avoiding places that you frequented together. 5. **Channel Your Energy**: Redirecting your energy toward something constructive-exercise, art, writing, volunteering-can help take your mind off the pain and give you a sense of accomplishment. 6. **Practice Mindfulness**: When thoughts of her overwhelm you, practice grounding techniques. Focus on your breathing or on sensory experiences around you. It can help you stay present and manage the storm of emotions. This period of your life is undoubtedly hard, but it’s also a time for you to grow and reconnect with yourself. Sometimes, it helps to reflect on the fact that what you had was special, but it doesn’t mean it was the only special thing your life can offer. Allow yourself time to heal.

"Ghosting" is a recent term describing when a person abruptly ends contact with no explanation. The person who is "ghosted" is left hanging, wondering what happened and attempts to re-establish contact - unsuccessfully. Many adult children now "ghost" their older parents - sometimes gradually but always without an explanation. This video advice might have been useful years ago, before adult children now have an online life that has replaced their actual parents.

Exactly what my youngest son has done. He went to college. I didn't. Ergo, my input is worthless. I'm 73 . He is 51. My older son blames me for everything wrong in his life. He's 53. Their dad walked out on us when they were 9&11. I had to work 3 jobs, odd hours, just to pay the bills. I had hoped that when they became parents that they'd be understanding, forgiving. Not even close. My grief will follow me to my grave.

Be in control of your emotions! You need to set boundaries all children need boundaries!This is true your adult children need to respect you and be grateful for you are the person who brought them into this world remind them that it says in the Bible that in the ten commandments that children should honor and respect their parents! It's sad that adult children do have respect for their own parents ! 😔

[@robinanderson724]

Children need to know they are not the boss, you are! And as far as respect, setting boundaries and having consequences for breaking those boundaries is crucial. Just talking does nothing by itself. Also, your child’s friends are so very important. We had no problems at all with our daughter while she was at home, I mean none! She was always respectful, always did the right thing. But she was negatively influenced by a high school friend and all, I mean all went south. She stopped talking to us, communicating with us, everything! I thank the Lord above for bringing our daughter back to us. We are so very thankful. She’s talking to us, visiting and it’s just wonderful!

All elders should have respect, they earned it.

[@karlamccullough5319]

Not all of them. I was told I was unwanted at age 4. I was seriously neglected and left outside alone beginning at age 2. As an infant, I was left on the back porch all day and only brought in to feed me on a feeding schedule. I don't have any memories of my mother showing me any affection. I was physically and mentally abused. I was extremely ill when I was age 9, and my mother was willing to let me die. By a miracle and the grace of God, I survived. My older sibling was openly favored and allowed to take advantage of me. When my dad died, my mother expected me to stop my life and take care of her. I was raised to be a doormat. She was a bully and said unkind things to me like, "I wish I would have killed you when I had the chance." She never appreciated the things I did for her. After years of being nice to my mother, I pretty much avoided her the last year of her life. I've struggled with depression, low self-esteem, self-destructive behaviors, and forming and maintaining personal relationships most of my life.

[@leemayhan4199]

@ Sad that you had to live that life you did not ask for. My dad was an alcoholic, was unfaithful to my mother and when my mom got cancer when I was in the 8th grade my dad left us with no money. Back then there was no state or federal assistance and we depended on good friends who cared, donations from our church and I had my first jobs at age 12 and the money I made always went into the household finances to care for my mom and brother who had schizophrenia which we did not know at the time what it was and I had a hard time keeping him in school. At Catholic School no one knew our rough living situation or my many days and times of food insecurity and often went hungry to school or had no bus fare and walked miles to my school no matter what the weather. I had to find my dad now living with his new girlfriend and be nice to him to get money for food , utilities and the rent, That is the thing I hated the most out of a dad who did not care if I lived or died. My mother died in my last year of high school and I moved to anther state to live with my mother’s family to finish high school and never made a single friend. Of course I was in that despair as the reason I lived was to take care of my mom as she was dying. I spent 2 year like this but managed to pull together to take an opportunity for free to go to nursing school. At age 20 after thinking about the situation I grew up in I knew I had to deal with it in a way it would not carry into the rest of my life. Lost any respect I had for the religion I grew up I made a bold move for myself that had to do with what I had learned in my religion and that was simple, the act of total forgiveness for what my father did to our family and how awful he was to my mother who I loved dearly. Reality it gave me a sense of relaxation like letting the air out of a ballon. I was able to connect with my father, knowing who he was and would never change as now I was in total control and I would do my duty as a daughter to him. So I lived in another state but I was there when he finally got sick for a few years and passed. As a result I have no regrets because I was the one who did the right thing. In your case forgiveness may not be the option you would want to take, but know full well that any of this was never your fault, you did not ask for it. Also in some families one child is often favored over the sibling’s. My mother id tell me a lot of good things though, my mother told me that life was not for the faint hearted. I say best advice I ever got.

Great video; full of great truth and advice. My kids are now 14 and 17. I noticed, when they were younger, these steps where much harder to implement. Once they could reason, for me it’s gotten less chaotic. I’ve learned to disengage when necessary, the hard way. They are both adopted, with incredible mental health challenges. I have learned so much from them, and although it’s been a very difficult endeavor I’ve undertaken, they’ve given me an incredible sense of purpose and meaning to my life, I have since discovered a power house of strength, wisdom and discernment I never knew I had. The ways of God are way more amazing than we could ever imagine. Thank you for your video.

Now days the elderly die alone or in horrible nursing homes. Shame on our adult kids. But they sure want our money after death. Many will get some shocking surprises. I like the $1 inheritance.

I tried leaving them out of my will, but the minute they're nice to me, I think they've changed and they're back in. But it's just my imagination and we're off again. I decided to just spend my money on me instead of being frugal with it so that I'll have more to leave them. So whatever is left won't be an awful lot, but I've enjoyed it instead of enjoying them. You know what they would have done with the money the day after I'm in the ground? A new car. Other cool things that they want. It won't go into a bank account for very long! So I'm enjoying it, myself! I still don't feel good about it. I guess there's just no easy answer.

I agree pray be still . Show respect regardless. Just smile . And just go to God about everything.. Don’t get angry just be happy and do the opposite.

Just say okay .. let them be and speak and talk when they want to don’t always state your option . I simply say sometimes . You will be okay . You will figure it out . I just pray I observe the spirit that’s attached to them stay silent in cry out against that spirit and pray to go . I trust God to move ..

It's just that the woman in that picture is of an age that her children are adults---she has done raising them---she stands in a period beyond when a "child" needs to be punished. Your points are useful in dealing with such unfortunate behavior by one's descendants. It is their right to choose their set of values. It is our right to choose to distance ourselves from these, and them, but maintaining nonjudgemental calmness and realizing they may never "agree to disagree" might help in keeping some semblance of a relationship.

This sounds like good advice with people that have young children. But those of us that have children that are grown with families of their own it's a little harder. Long story short I let my son and his little family move in with me for a while (almost 2 years) I already knew my son had become very disrespectful over time. Well things got really bad. They had basically taken over my entire house when I was kind enough to let them live here for free and even gave them my bedroom, the master bedroom. There was one morning we got into an argument about something I don't even remember what, things got drastically out of hand. A little under 5 ft 3 and my son is probably 5 ft 10 or 11 and he's a big boy! He literally stood where we were standing face to face and him towering over me screaming in my face and even chest bumped me. I left because I was trying to get out the door to go to work. I told him I was going to call the police which I didn't. But I was trying to put a little fear into him. He has screamed at me then bumped me during that situation and called me every name you can think of. I would never ever ever say the things he has said to me to my mom! I did not raise him that way and his sister which was raised the exact same way the exact same house is totally opposite. She is respectful and goes out of her way to do things for me. I don't know or understand what happened to him? He was the best baby in the world and he was always a good kid for the most part. The older he got the worst he started to get. Between myself and his dad we figured out spanking him didn't do any good but taking away his things oh my goodness you would think it was the end of the world! So when he had to be disciplined that's what we did. There were only a couple times I had to get or be very firm with my daughter. She was always good and a great student which is another thing he had a lot of issues with was school. Not because he wasn't smart because he is extremely intelligent he's just very lazy. I pray for him all the time that he will make some changes in his life! That is the only thing left I can do. I can't discipline a 30-year-old Man With children of his own. All of that being said there are times he can be the sweetest loving son ever. Unfortunately a lot of those times are when he wants something. I see a lot of other comments on here similar to mine. Even mentioning my daughter, she is a great person. But over the last year or so she has even become the way I feel is a little distant from me. She used to come over all the time but now I rarely ever see her because she's ALWAYS busy. She does call me in the mornings and in the afternoons. But on the weekends it's rare that I hear from her. She does have a very demanding job and a baby that just turned one. She will tell me that they are just extremely tired from the week and they're just going to relax at home. Then I find out or see pictures posted where they've gone two other people's houses that live a pretty good distance from her and I'm literally 5 minutes down the road. As for my son he stayed here with me as I stated to remodel my old house that's on the same property where I live. So we live literally right across from each other, maybe 50 ft. But I never see him either since they moved over there. Sounds like we need a support group for us ladies with grown children. The only thing I can think of is his dad and I got divorced after being together approximately 31 years. So that has kind of messed up the whole family😢 I just pray our Heavenly Father will help each of us get through our own battles in this life!🙏🏻 blessings and love to all ❤

Praying for your relationship to heal with your daughter

Our biggest problem is Education. We all want our children to be educated. From childhood, they pick up different characters fron school till they become adults. They no more listen to their parents advice. They school mates are their advisors. It is really sad. But this is how far life has brought. We only have look up to the Lord.

Sad yes but it will most likely be to late , you will be gone

I have given up on my kids. Have not laid eyes on my son in just about ten years. No phone call. No email. No text. No snail mail. Two daughters that have made no effort to come see me in a very long time. No calls etc. So I do not try anymore. Sick of the heartache. I am done. I miss my grands but not my kids anymore.

I have 3 sons and never hear from them unless they need money or need help with their finances! They are the most annoying children I have ever seen in my life!

I relate with ur story, my daughter never visited me or call me or text me, she live only two miles away from my house, she always busy for her friend, and i raised her with love and respect, i don’t know what happened. God is in control, I always pray for her

[@kimloanf2022]

[@julianaroldan2004]

I greatly relate to your story 😢 my daughter is very disrespectful, though I stay calm and respectful when I can’t take it anymore I cry and excuse myself and leave. Then I come back to her like anything had happened so she stays calm and we don’t have arguments. She doesn’t care if I die, but that doesn’t mean that I have to be mean to her but the other way around I love her and respect her so when I die she will greatly regret what she had done that was terrible wrong. It’s not on me but on her. I ask God to forgive her as I forgive her myself I don’t hold any grudges towards her because she is my daughter and I remember every day as the day she was born🥹🥲 I loved her so much and that love never went away. My stepson doesn’t care for me either even if I give him everything I have, he can careless about me because he doesn’t appreciate how hard I worked to provide for him and all of his needs until now that he’s 40 years old. What do I do? I do the same as I do with my daughter. It’s not up to me but up to them. God knows how much I have suffered for both of them and how I raised them with much love and respect and kindness but that doesn’t make them to respect me or to care for me. What can I do? Just love them as the Bible tells me to love my neighbor as I love myself and to love God with all my heart my mind and my soul and all my strength for the Glory of God and He will Glorify His Name in all circumstances whatever it is🙏✝️🕊️🙇‍♀️🧎‍♀️💕💞🥲🫡🥹😭💖
