In my case, my daughter dumped me when I experienced a sudden, catastrophic illness. We had no prior problems. I paid for her Ivy League education. She's a married, college professor. She told me my illness interfered with her "artistic pursuits". I'm in remission- I haven't heard from her in 10 yrs. Some children are just totally unconscionable & selfish.

Thanks- a day doesn't go by, that I don't think about her. Still send her Bday cards. No response.

Good points especially, "Be Compassionate: It takes time, patience, and care to change the dynamics of a family. Be gentle with your family members and yourself." Cutting off one's parents isn't gentle. Without communication, we cannot begin to repair.
