T he pain of disappointment comes in many flavors. Sometimes it’s the kids who you thought would appreciate the heart soul and effort you poured into them and they don’t.

One young adult related to me recently that his mother expressed hurt about her son disregarding something important to her saying “I’m also a human being.”

“I guess I never really thought about her as a person separate from her role as my mother ” he mused.

Sometimes it is friends whom you think will be there for you when you need them but all you get is radio silence.
