[quote=Kaz64]Hi everyone, I’mnew to posting in forums but I’m currently feeling so awaful that I felt sharing may help.

My mother is now into her third week of ignoring me.  She has done this to me all my life, as far back as I can remember.  It was worse when I lived at home and she could be in the same room yet still ignore me.  Sometime she will ignore me for a week, sometimes for months and I am left feeling lost, bewildered.  By the way I am 52 and live 250 miles away from her, yet I know when she is ignoring me - no phone calls, no messages.

Currently my daughter is having some relationship problems and my mother is dying to know what is going on.  She is hounding my daughter, telling her that she, as her grandmother, has a right to know her problems.  Generally my mother is adding to my daughter’s problems.  Being her mum, I intervened and asked my mother to leave her alone. Big mistake!  A week after no phone calls I rang to be told “the way you spoke to me, you have no right, I am your mother etc”.  Oh she went on about how I never have any time for her and what her rights are as a mother to me, then she said “I suppose you are going to cry now, as you always do”, then she put the phone down.

Usually, after a few days, I would ring, beg, ask to speak to my dad, beg him to sort things out, but this time I’m not going to.  It hurts so much but I am just getting through each day thinking “no, don’t call”.  She has told my son that she deserves an apology and she will not speak again to me until she has one.  He suggested she was being a little unfair but then he got accused of taking sides.

I really don’t know how a mother can do this to her only child.  I try to do everything to please her, but always there is some thing I do that causes such wrath followed by her ignoring me.  I usually don’t even know what I have said or done until she tells me.  I wonder now how long this time.[/quote]
