[quote=Anonymous]I changed CONTINENTS and put an OCEAN between my mother and myself. She wants me to put her first, or she wants to be first in my life... I'm not sure which, or if it makes any difference. She didn't want me to marry or have kids and basically do anything except accumulate advanced degrees and have the career she never had. She threw several fits when my husband and I expressed the desire to visit my dear MIL for a couple of days instead of spending our entire vacation time with her. She likes to be generous but it always comes with strings attached. I could go on. Hence the utility of the Atlantic ocean! Our relationship works by phone (if I ignore all her ridiculous anxieties and prejudices about many different topics) and we get along for about a 10 day visit until I absolutely need to put either one of us on a plane.[/quote]
