I have 4 biological married sons, and one adopted daughter.. It is tough for me to make a joke about the above, because, it is very painful to me that I rarely hear from my sons, and when I do hear from them/or I call them, even if months go by; 'nothing is ever new'. It is like I am a stranger they are talking to. I know nothing that is really going on in their lives, while their wives, on the other hand, daily speak to their Mothers, and include their Mothers in their lives. Sometimes this is tough to bear. It seems to me that I wasted all my younger/youth years, in caring and loving for them, and now I am just an afterthought in their lives. They end up being part of their wives family. I used to include my Mother in everything, so they did have a role model to follow.....(:- I wish there was a support group for Mothers with Married Sons. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this.
