[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it's perfectly reasonable for her to go see her former student perform.[/quote] +1. It seems that you are creating artificial tests for your mom. It’s not fair to your mom to say that going to see her student perform is somehow failing to give you due attention. Her blowing off someone else is not the answer to making you feel warm and fuzzy. I had a similar dynamic with my dad in which he always seemed to have time for a lot of random people, but never me. Pick and choose the times you really need your mom’s engagement and that might work. But it might not. You really can’t make people give you their time and attention, so you may have to accept that you are just not going to get the sense of priority that you want from your mom. And, honestly, if you didn’t come out of childhood feeling that, it’s unlikely to improve now.[/quote]
