well i think regardless of the reason they do not speak . this woman was his mom and he must have loved her at some stage of his life . we all fall out with our children from time to time and the time period can escalate so quickly . surely as a son and one with some compassion and love somewhere within him . He could spare the money to make things a little easier for this woman . We are not all perfect as parents and i hope he can look back someday and say that everything he did in his life was right . i dont think so . we all make mistakes , it just takes the bigger person to forgiveand it will also make Him feel a lot better too.
