When my mother walked out on me and my sister back in the 1970’s, we were both under 7 years old.
Things were a bit different back then; in all cases the women always got custody of the children if they try to.
In my mother case, she never tried and in the years I was growing up, I only saw her a few times and now only talk to her once or twice a year.
Now I have been told that when she reaches 65 years old and if she needs social care, myself and my sister well have to contribute towards it.
I take the view that a “parent” is someone who care for you has a child, and it only seems fair you should look after them in there old age.
But there has to be a point where if that “parent” leaves, that responsibility ends for both.
If a parent leaves his/her children, and she never contributed to bring you up and never even made an effort to make regular visits, then she does not deserve a penny from either you or your sister.
You have to give to recieve and by the sounds of things she has never given. Who ever brought you up should automatically take the place of your mother.
I cant even imagine what it most feel like to be in the situation your in. But to be honest I never thought that a person could be made to pay for his or her parents care when they reach old age.Not voted, same reason as the other poll. Don’t know any of them.

Nothing really :wink:
I’ve met nobody yet, Still quite new here. 8)
Soulie I think you make more out of this then you need too, your still young enough to enjoy yourself, When your with somebody you cant be selfish, you have to put the relationship first, you have to consider other ppl’s feelings. dont tie yourself down in a hurry, whats the rush anyway?

How can I be so totally misunderstood on forums I frequent and with people I’ve met?
I am so annoyed!!!! Someone I’ve known and met over a year has decided coz I light-heartedly called them “high and mighty” that I am the total b|tch from hell and deserve to have the wrath of the forum upon me.
Jeez!!! I give up!
Least here on JC you can say what you want without getting deleted or banned :roll:
Something similar happened to me not so long ago… It gets on my nerves when people do that, because most of the comments on message boards are either misread or misunderstood.
