Widowed mother
Quote From: allenlipsOver 2 yrs ago my dad died- we were always a close family...i have a younger brother and 3 older sisters. My mother is legally blind, she decided to move to florida where her friends are( she didnt move right away) it is a community where she can be independent as she does not drive. Ever since she decided to move there and sell her house my 2 sisters have berated her, verbally abused her - it is disgusting. She is a widow and they treat her like this??? I was not thrilled with my mother leaving, however, its what is best for her. She has an active social life and is happy. She likes the warm weather and is happy. My sisters dont speak to her OR the rest of the familY???? it is bizarre. I have made several attempts to connect with no response. How can they do this to their mother???????? Its not right that they treat your mother like this. Your mother is an adult who should be making decisions that are right for her, no matter what her kids might think, and thats exactly what she did. You said you've made several atempts to connect with someone... your mother, or your siblings? That part isn't clear. I hope that you are in contact with your mother, she still needs family contact and support, even if she is living far away. As for your siblings, they will realize in time what they are missing out on, hopefully, and they will come around.. it takes time.
