Parents dote on their children, and are thrilled to see them progress from student, to working professional ... to married person .... to parent. While moving through these stages, parents feel as though their life has served it's purpose. They feel satisfied.

But, at times ... some parents get shocked to face the rude reality of rejection. Yes rejection! ... when they realize that the children whom they have given birth to... and nurtured.... those very same kids now do not want to look after them. This is one of the worst feelings. How can your own children, who you have loved and made so many sacrifices for... those angels are now thinking of their old parents as a burden???

Ways To Deal With Relationships

I realized the shocking reality of how this affects old people when I spoke to a lady who had adopted two children. She and her husband looked after those kids with devotion and love. They gave them a super education and even put them through the professional courses they desired. They ensured that the children had lavish marriages and they even gave them their equal shares of the family property.

The big mistake they made was to gift them the property and not bequeath it to them through a will. Had they retained the property till their death, they could have retained respect from their children as they had the ownership of the property and along with it they would also have the power to change their will.

But irrespective of the property ownership issue, should children be so callous as to abandon their parents when they have nowhere to go?

How should parents protect themselves from the threat of being abandoned? Are there some safeguards that can be resorted to? Can people be taught the responsibility of caring for their parents? We will discuss the details over the forthcoming articles and videos.
