In what way were they not there? Physically, emotionally? What did you expect from them and what did they actually do? This could so easily be a lack of communication and expectations.

Are they generally in your life normally? Visiting regularly? Do they have families, partners to take over their responsibilities when needed, the means to take time off work?

Was it you that raised them?

In what way did you want them to be there for you, and how did the way they acted differ from that?
