Under what circumstances would you never talk to your own child again? What would he/she have to do to lose your love and understanding?

I do not think that there is ever a time would you should not speak to your children. No matter what happens, has been done, or is being done, you still have a responsibility as a parent to care for your child, love your child, understand your child and respect your child. If your child is doing something so wrong that you don't feel like speaking to them anymore, then there is much more problems under the surface.

A mother could not go through life not speaking to her child and if she can, there are deeper issues going on. As a mother, we hold a responsibility, a bond and an unconditional love that no one other than a mother shares with their child. This is a title we have to own up to for the rest of our lives.

If a mother can go without speaking to her children, I am not sure what kind of mother she would be. We are there to guide them through times like this and nurture them. If your child is doing something so wrong, help them.

If you back out on them in time of need, you are a Coward, period. A father? That is a whole different story.

We can expect them to do something like this, but not a mother. Own up to your mistakes, make it right, be a mother!

I hardly ever talk to either of my sons, because they seem intent on hurting me when we are together. They have called me a liar, made fun of me, and gone for long periods of time without speaking to me, for what? For doing the best I could to be their mother, and obviously failing in everyone's eyes.At this point, I've taken all the familial abuse I'm going to take, and if they don't want to talk to me, that's fine.

Unless your parent is mentally ill, then you did something that was "majorly wrong" in their eyes, although obviously not in yours. Sometimes, what we consider meaningless means a lot to someone else.My sons thought they could just sweep their behavior under the rug and move on, and did not take my feelings into account at all. They were wrong, and now they know it.

I don't think there is ever anything that could make me do that. I have kids, with the oldest 13. Long enough to have gotten over the babymoon.

And I'm also a daughter who has experienced some truly awful stuff at the hands of my parents when they didn't realize it. I can see feeling really uncomfortable talking to my kids about something, and maybe needing a week or so to figure out to deal with it. But never talking to them again?

I would have to know that that was flat-out wrong. Some things with kids you just have to get through, no matter how painful, like breastfeeding, toilet training, "The Talk", driving lessons without letting on you're terrified to have him behind the wheel. Talking it out has to happen.

I hear of so many people with older parents who refuse to talk to them. Makes me wonder if "second childhood" is a reality. My own mom has gotten pretty persnickity as she's gotten older.

She says "I'm old enough to do what I like. " Um, no. She's doing things she taught me *not* to do just a couple of decades ago, and she always taught me *why* those things were a bad idea.

And now they're somehow ok? It's gotten so bad that we almost don't want to visit anymore; yet we do because my husband and I were raised to honor our parents. We call.

We visit. They don't. Maybe it's payback for all those toddler tantrums...

There is never any reason to stop loving your own children, even when they do make mistakes and choose to do bad things as adults. Always take time to pray for them and keep the faith that they may in fact change their attitude toward you. Sometimes, there are few reasons that may cause parents not to talk to their adult children.

Some parents may endure abusive or disrespectful behavior coming from their loved one. The parent may feel they are being abused financially or physically, so they have the right to cut contact with the person who hurts them. Also, the parent may feel as if the child has chosen to forget them and not communicate, unless they want something.

Yet, in your situation, I would pray for your relationship to be mended and maybe send a card to them once a month. Even if they don’t respond, at least you tried to communicate with them and went out of your way to fix the relationship. In addition, you could also ask why they feel this way and accept the answer they give, even though you know it may not be it true.

Sometimes, just apologizing will make a big difference, but other times it won’t. Try not to lose precious time, by allowing miscommunication or ill feelings to rob of the special times you are missing with your parent’s. However, sometimes you must wait for them to come around and accept your communications again.

Once your child, always your child I'm afraid that there is nothing my son could do to make me never want to talk to him ever again. He has lied to me, called me names, cussed to me, pushed me physically, yelled at me, says he's embarrassed by me, been mean and cruel to me, but I still talk to him. And sometimes I wonder why-so does my husband too.

I can get angry at friends, ex-friends, ex-boyfriends, ex-husbands, and not talk to them for the rest of my life. But my son, I can be abused to hell, but he is always my son and I will always welcome him into my life.

I suspect that if my child murdered his mother, my wife, I might very possibly have a difficult time ever forgiving or talking to him (or her) again. My love for my wife trumps all other loves, she is my only wife, I will never have another. For a son to murder his mother, especially a kind and loving mother, and it does happen, there has to be some level of choosing evil that I am not prepared to deal with.

If my child that evil, to the point where he/she could murder their mother (my wife), well then God have mercy on their soul, I don't think I would. I hear of teenagers who kill for drug money, or because they are "angry" and hate their parents, or because they were told they couldn't use the family car. I might feel the same way if one of my children murdered my mother, their grandmother.In your case, I doubt you have murdered anyone, but it seems curious that you seemingly don't understand why your parent won't speak to you.

Find out what it is and try to make it better. My Dad and my brother didn't speak for seven years, and then Dad died without my brother having a chance to make peace.It's a heavy burden to carry just for the luxury of being "right" .

Never could my children lose my love or understanding but they could lose my respect for things that could be done. They haven't and so they did well and have my respect. So I could never not talk to them.

Oh I get mad at my kids, but disown them never. These children were all born by the grace of God. He gave them to me, with the help of my husband of course.To disown one of God's creations os to deny God himself and that is not me.

To deny any of them my love would be like cutting of my arm or leg. It just is never gonna happen.My children are God's greatest gift to me as are all kids. I am a parent who will go to bat for my children if they deserve it.

I know my children are not angels but none have ever been arrested or used drugs. I have been told by all three at different times that they hated me, I smile and say but I still love you. I have laid down the law when I needed to, and it has not been easy for me but we managed.

We as in the kids and I, we all survived their teen years!

Well it is not a good thing. ====================== Ana the lemonade diet detox.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
