Have you directly asked them what they feel you could do to rectify some of their hurt, as well as your own?
-
They pull away, but like always they come when they want something, or they'll going to get something. I don't know their story, but they might be trying to black mail you. Family counseling may help.

We do the best raising our kids with what we have available and sometimes kids don't understand this until they have children of their own..Do not let them make you into a emotional hostage for the past..You cannot change the past... You did the best you could and if they don't feel the same way...well...unfortunately..they have to realize that in their own time in their own way...Its your turn to have a life...they have theirs now..you did the best you could..all you can do is be mom and hope they see how hard you tried one day. Until then... no matter what, your still mom and you will still be there...cause that's what we do! Just remember don't beat yourself up for their hang ups...kids sometimes forget parents have feelings too!

I understand how it feels and hurts, though I personally never had this issue . But me and my wife went to classes on how to raise kids. I tell you they are true professionals and they taught us on how on issues on raising children , the problem faced by the children and how and when to intervene , food etc. my humble suggestion would be just don't give up and you are not destined for failure. Talk to profession and things should be fine

I am there with you. It hurts, it seems so unfair. I've given my time, my love, my money, and my health. Like you said; they have their lives, you have yours. We must live for ourselves and accept that they will not be part of our lives. Good luck, good life.
