Feeling Unappreciated by My Kids – Need Advice!

Hey everyone,

I really need some advice and maybe a bit of a reality check. For a long time, I worked my butt off abroad to provide a better life for my kids. I managed to save enough money to buy each of my three children – Frank, Roger, and Madeline – their own apartments. I thought this would make them happy and secure, but now I feel like it’s all backfired.

Recently, I came back home and needed a place to stay for a few nights. To my shock, none of my kids would let me stay with them. Frank said he was too busy with work, Roger claimed his place was too small, and Madeline just flat-out refused without giving a reason. I’m feeling really hurt and unappreciated. I did so much for them, and now it feels like they don’t even care.

I’m not sure what to do next. Should I confront them about how I feel? Or should I just let it go and try to move on? I don’t want to create more tension, but I also don’t want to keep feeling like this. Has anyone else been in a similar situation? How did you handle it? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Ella
