@tobyslough: When was the last time you texted your adult child without needing anything from them? Think about it. So many of our texts come with a question, a reminder, or a request. And most of the time, we don't even realize we're doing it. Here's something I want you to try today. Send your adult child a text that simply says, "Thought about you this morning. Love you. Proud of you." That's it. No questions. No expectations. No need for them to respond. Your adult kids need to know you enjoy them as people, not just when they're making time for you. Sometimes the smallest things make the biggest difference in your relationship with your grown kids. Let them know you're thinking about them, just because you love them. Encourage your adult child today. #ParentingAdultChildren #ParentsOfAdultKids #AdultChildren #ParentingAdvice

I feel like ive FAILED as a mother. giving my all to my children my entire life. How can they just put you down on their priority list when they have been the top of your list for so long?

And this is one reason that I have my Biological Father blocked on every app and phone communication. Because the patterns always return. He hurts me over and over and over. I’ve tried too many times. I’m at peace with it. Finally.

I have started doing that with my son and I don’t ever expect anything in return but I know he is seeing them. I always remember that I am the parent and will always be the parent and he will always be the child not in a child capacity, but it’s up to me to set the example of love for him not for him to set the example of love to me.

I'd also encourage self reflection as to why your children don't want to communicate with you. I know it's easier said than done, and can be painful, but it's important to consider that maybe you are not someone they'd want to communicate with. Maybe you are not pleasant to be around. The good news is you are always capable of change if you genuinely reflect.
