mama mia!

Hi all,
today i pondered the thought of a mother who does not feel for her offspring. I have a friend who is to remain nameless whose mother has never wondered where she/he is or was, always finds an excuse to not help this child and who does not even call to find out how the child is when the child is living out of home. I personally do not understand how a mother or a father can have so little care for their own blood! I find it upsetting as this child is yearning the love she or he deserves from his/her mother. Nameless never speaks about very personal things with his mother, it is all about everyday normal things, nothing regarding his/her personal life, and if in the slight instance where she does ask, he/she pretends everything is fine because he/she knows that his/her mother is not really interested... which i find very sad.

I just do not understand how it is possible? What is everyones opinon about this? Am I over reacting or do I have expectations that are held too high?

What is the world coming to if a mother has little care in the world for her son/daughter?
