[quote=Anonymous]I’m sorry, that would make me feel sad. Do you know why she doesn’t want you there? Do you try to make uncomfortable situations better by talking a lot? My mom does that and it drives me a little crazy—I often wish she would just sit and listen and experience without her constant commentary—but I know she’s doing it out of a place of anxiety. If you really want to go, I would sit down and ask her what you could do to make the process go as smooth as possible for her. Listen and don’t get defensive. Just listen. Remember that moving away to college is a big deal to these kids and it’s hard for them on a “normal” year, let alone during Covid. If she doesn’t have a good reason or is downright rude to you for no reason, then it’s time to let it go. [/quote]
