2023-02-22 20:40:03 I’m Adopted. What Do I Owe My Birth Mother?
I was adopted as an infant, and about 15 years ago I searched for and found my birth mother. I soon learned that she has had mental illness and addiction problems of various intensities throughout her life. Although she is mostly stable now, both talking with her by phone and occasional in-person visits are unpleasant, mostly because of her negative and combative perspectives on everything. I get very little out of the relationship and mostly avoid interacting with her.

My birth mother has burned bridges with most of her friends and family members and is currently alone and isolated, living on public support in subsidized housing. She has never asked me for money, though twice I have helped with medical bills. Now that she is in her 80s, I am wondering what, if anything, I owe her beyond periodic phone contact. She is strong-willed and independent, but as chronic conditions increasingly take their toll, I can foresee a time soon when she will need help. Do I have a moral obligation to assist someone I barely know and don’t particularly like, but who happened to have brought me into the world? — Name Withheld

From the Ethicist:

Children don’t have obligations to their parents merely by virtue of being biologically related. Those obligations arise only from a proper relationship with them. With deeper ties come expectations. Because you find your interactions with your birth mother unpleasant, you already have one reason not to go on with a relationship; creating an unwanted form of dependency is another. So far, she hasn’t asked for your help. By limiting your interactions with her, you won’t lead her to think that she’s in a position to do so. Whatever assistance you provide will be a decision, not a duty. Ochish/sharhlash
