I have 3 children & I am close to all of them , I feel though as as if I don't exist to them outside of my 'role ' as mum & Grandma . I feel as if I'm not an actual person to them . I rarely speak to them about my life because I feel they have no interest. A few weeks ago I was upset & shocked about something I had found out about my sibling , I tried to speak to one child & was 'tutted ' at & told to ' get over it ' Do your grown up children have any interest in you as an individual & separate entity ?
