Has anyone else's parent stopped having contacy with them for no reason?

My mother stopped contact with me many years ago. My mother walked out when I was around 15. I used to call her. Pop to her place on a weekend it was always me who reached out. I could tell she did not want to know but I kept it up anyway hoping she would come round. I kept it up for a long time. I moved back to London with my dad. I still tried to keep in contact. Still she was not interested.

She was not interested when I had my 2 youngest. When I had my 2nd child she promised to come and see me. 9 months later she still had not. We I asked her about it. She told me she can't come anymore . She's looking after my sisters dogs. And that she does mot have to answer to me. Tjat was an excuse she had not been looking after dogs for 9 months.

That gave me all the answers i needed. She didn't want to know me. Or her grandchildren.

When my youngest was 3 my dad died of cancer we were very close . I still felt I should tell my mother he had passed. She cried and sobbed down the phone . I didn't hear from her anymore over that period of time.

My dad did not do a will as they were still married although separated for 18 years by then. So that meant money my dad left would go to her. Hats off to her she did maje sure me and my sister got all the money left.

There's been years of no contact now

She lives in another part of the country to me. But I did bump into her in London when I was taking my 5th child to hospital. I said hello to her . But I didn't feel anything it was like a stranger that you happen to pass on a regular basses and you say a quick hello in passing.

She still has contact with some of my siblings. Even the ones that gave her shit as young adults. Odd thing is I never done anything wrong to her. Never ever.

Some times I question why. Won't ever get the answer. She's in her 80s now so I doubt there will ever be contact again.
