Happy
I know I have posted here already today.
Just wanted to let you folks know that I am in a good mood and my pain has diminished a lot. I was a little concerned earlier that I might have injured my knee but it is feeling better and I think it is going to be fine. I can walk on it about normally, though it hurts to do so and I'm limping a little unless I force myself not to. This is better than it was earlier.
very sad and in major pain
i have really overdone it walking on my busted leg and am really paying for that today. And very sad because i miss my son and i honestly don't think he gives two shits about me anymore except for getting the call that i've dropped over dead so he'll inherit the property i worked so hard to payoff and the money i've saved for a retirement i'll prob never make it to. I have no idea why, what i did, what has caused him to seem so cold toward me. He was my only child who made it to term alive and i love him beyond measure. It really hurts my heart. I just don't understand.
And my leg is absolutely screaming, doubt i'll be able to work at all this week.

Just now noticed your post...Sounds like you are going through an awful time. Take care of your leg.
Hopefully, your son will come around. I don't know the situation, but I do know my sister was angry at my parents for some reason and would not speak to anyone in the family for I think it was 6 or 7 years and would not answer any calls but now she is part of the family again and they have a good relationship with her.
I hope your son will do the same, only without waiting years to do so.
The youngest of my oldest brother's two stepsons let him and his mom know how much he hated them when he was 15 or 16 and left home and only made contact twice that I am aware of over the next couple of years and that was only to get money from them. He has made up with them and they are at least somewhat close - I don't know him that well though.
I'm just giving you a couple of examples of kids breaking contact with parents and treating them badly only to come back into their parents lives later. My other sister broke contact for even longer and only got back in touch with our mom when she found out mom had late stage breast cancer. It was not for inheritance either, as my parents don't have much of value to pass on to the kids.
I wish you luck with your son. I don't know just how bad that must feel for you as I am not a parent. The closest thing I have experienced to that was when the second sister broke contact and her two sons who lived with me every summer, spring, and winter break along with many weekends never came back. They were like brothers as we practically grew up together until she took them out of my life. I know that's not the same as having your only child turn away from you and treat you like that. Having an only child do that must be about the most hurtful of things.
I hope you don't lose hope of having a meaningful relationship with your son again, especially if it has not been a long time. Maybe if given a little time, you can get him to talk it out with you and figure out the problem. I hope so for you, but it would surely do him good too.
