I took the plunge and told my mum how I was feeling ( nervous on edge waiting for the criticism ... & after the usual initial response of well I just won't come and I'll keep my mouth shut like I normally do...) she told me the real reason. She feels it's all about me, I never contact her, do anything for her, ask how she is & I said I thought she was always too busy ... We had completely list our way and communication which we have now sorted , put a plan in place which changes things and already spent a lovely morning ... It was like getting my mum back - thank you thank you for being here - I nearly crashed the car the other evening going on a short journey & falling asleep at the wheel which has put me off travelling to my meeting for a bit so it's good to be able to share here thank you
What a gift to read this today, Minibee. So glad you and your Mom could sit down and talk things through, both admitting her part in the difficulties between you, putting a plan you mutually agreed to in place and acted on it to a happy outcome for both of you today.
