“Second. In order to become estranged from both of your adult children you generally have to be a complete dirt bag. Sara must be his junior by 20+ years.”
She did not look that much younger than her husband. She works and appears to manage money if she has collected enough for at home care.
The man is 60 years old. How old are his estranged children? Are the estranged adult children mad, because new wife advised that funding adults due to guilt is not wise? Sad as it is, sometimes money is the thread keeping the relationships tied. Once the thread of money is cut, the unraveling begins.
If it were only one child I would say it could go either way. If you managed to raise two deadbeat kids I think that would be a feat.
It could be the fact that I have little respect for my own parents. Although my father has gotten a little better. My mother on the other hand still has a way to go to earn my respect. When you marry a pedophile and cover for him expect your kids to treat you with disdain. When you treat your kids spouse like dirt and refuse to see the grand kids then you will also be tossed to the side.
