[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You're the one who initiated the estrangement, so you can't blame your mother for that. Maybe you miss her and estrangement was not the best way to handle things?[/quote]

Oh, I miss her every day. But at some point you have to realize that grieving someone harshly still outweighs constant emotional abuse especially around holidays/big events. I am a typical “lost child” who bears the brunt of a lot of familial issues. I am also the only one who moved away. My sister is her golden child who she worships. It’s too sad and difficult to be around. [/quote]

I'm sorry. I'm the PP you responded to. I actually was shocked (and hurt) as a young adult when I started working around adults with children, and realized how much they adored them, how much they talked about them -- how much they knew them. They knew what they were up to, what they liked and didn't like, who their friends were, etc. My mom basically knew nothing about me and couldn't care less. It was a rude and painful awakening to hear people talk about their kids like they loved them. Hugs, PP.[/quote]
