My Daughters have just Dissed me as though I don't exist anymore! They are all grown adults, 50, 44, & 43. None live close by but 2 live only a couple of hours away and the youngest lives in another state. All married except the 'Middle One' just lost her Fiancee, who passed away in
January this year, 2009. I am their 'Mother,' age 69yrs old at this point and 'Retired,' living alone, (their father and I Divorced years ago), with very little income to live on. Not nearly enough for 'Food' so I have to stand in line with the 'Homeless' to get 'Food' that's mostly 'Old & Outdated' and sometimes so bad you just have to throw it in the garbage! It's usually the stuff that the Supermarkets throw away. The reason I am writing is because I am so 'Hurt & Heartbroken' over the way my daughters are treating me. The 'Middle One' hasn't even spoken to me for almost a year. Anytime we had talked I had to be very "careful" not to say the wrong thing that might upset her. It seemed I could hardly ever say anything that didn't upset her, so I would mostly just try to 'Listen' and "Agree with her." I have cried my heart out at times
and 'Talked and Apolgized' numerous times concerning the 'Arguments' I had with their Father during their growing years, (this is a lot of what they have 'complained to me about'), yet they continue to "Berate Me" and
tell me "I was Abusive!" The funny thing is, I didn't hear ANY OF THIS until I "asked for Monetary Help," and some 'Repayment' of all the money I had given them for so many years, long after they were grown and gone!

Our eldest grandchild is disrespectful to my wife and me. Her mother, our deceased son's girlfriend does not teach the 6 kids much about respect. Recently she hung the phone up on both of us. Now she is going to visit with her siblings. How should we handle this first meeting since the incident which happened a month ago?
