My dad used to drive hundreds of miles to come see me, unannounced. I thought it was cute and sweet. He was retired and bored

As far as us showing up on our sons door step is because we were concerned and care about him. Some people do
not understand. We have one child and try to cling to him, so yes we did drive the 700 miles to see him cause he does not respond to e-mails, phone calls or letters and you have a lot of nerve to question that. That is our choice. do you not feel the same if it happened to you. If you were totally ignored, other than if your son or daughter wanted money from you.
Cause that is exactly what our son does. Nice to us when he wants something and gets it, Then never talks to you
again. Put your self in our shoes. How would you feel

Weeks had passed by and his bride to be e-mailed us again requesting for us to help them with some cost.
Normally my husband and I would not have a problem helping. The thing is neither one of them had communicated a word to us in a year. Now all of sudden they need something. So now were Ok to communicate with. Tell me am I taking this the wrong way or are my feelings justifyable.

Thank You,
Memorable

Totally justified. Some nerve.

way more to this story than in the op. give the kid his wish and just leave him alone. if he wants contact from you he will get in touch. otherwise try to let it alone. you can't force your kid to stay in contact with you.

I think there's more to the story too, but did you miss the part where the engaged couple is looking for money to pay for their wedding?

um, not nearly as much nerve as you have to do it! Sorry, but I have to assume that there is a reason your son is not responding to you (i.e. you did something that upset him). I haven't read the OP in a while but wasn't it the fiance asking for money? As I pointed out in my last post, she likely doesn't know the whole story and doesn't understand your relationship. Did your SON actually ask for money?

#1 In my defense if there is a reason. He should tell us. You have no idea what I have been through.
ther is no excuse for his behavior. He calls us when he needs something. How would you feel if your
son or daughter did that to you, We paid for his whole first wedding and all his bimbo bride at the time
said, "oh my parents gave us $2500.00. She has 2 sets of parents. and that was between both sets.
We paid for 95% of that wedding. We are not a frigging bank. All I here about this one he is
marrying now is ow great her parents are and how much money they have. So why don't thay go to them
for the money they need and leave us alone. I keep getting e-mails from his bimbo bride asking us
what we can do for them financialy for this wedding. No more. I have had it. No more. I am tired
of crying over this crap
