I am heartbroken that my sons want nothing to do with me

Dear DEIDRE: I am heartbroken that my children have decided to cut me out of their lives.

All I ever tried to do was be there for them, but they threw my love back in my face.

I am 54 years old and have two sons.

The youngest, at 21, had a drug problem for some time.

The last time I saw him was about six months ago and I was concerned about his health and safety, so he confronted him about drugs.

We had a big argument.

He got so angry that he assaulted and ranted, saying that I was a terrible mother and that all his drug use was my fault.

The next thing I learned was that his 23-year-old eldest son, who had gambling and alcohol problems, had taken his older brother's side and didn't need me in his life anymore. said.

I have no idea what lie his younger son told.

No contact for months. I'm disappointed

I do not deserve this treatment.

DEIDRE says: Both of your sons seem in denial about their addiction problems.

It's easy to rant and blame you.

Unfortunately, people cannot be helped until they want to change.

Perhaps a softer approach might work. Ask how to mend the relationship.

If they have another relative with whom they are still speaking, they can be asked to mediate.
