Coming from a close knit family, i don’t think i’ll be able to handle being estranged from them. i can’t comprehend how some people can act so 若无其事 about being so strained with their blood. Perhaps it is out of 无奈 that they act this way, or perhaps they can harden their hearts towards those who are closest to them. Either way, i don’t think it’s healthy.

it’s one thing being fine alone while still maintaining a semblance of communication with your family but it’s another thing to actively cut off all communications with them.

Then again with the person-in-question’s character, i’m seriously not surprised that she is even close to one of her family members. and i'm not even surprised that she doesn't have a close r/ship with her daughters, to the point where one of them hasn't returned home in a while. trying to win them back to your side now is a little late don't you think. esp since u just left them alone during their formative years. in the first place, if you're going to throw your kids aside to go out and have fun, then might as well not have kids loh. you don't even have the decency to be responsible for them. wth. totally don't pity this kinda of person cos she deserves it.

how your kids are going to treat you really stems from how you treat your parents and them.
