[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She doesn't need your help. She raised you she knows how teens are.  Though maybe she insisted you spend time with your grandma or maybe she didn't and now wishes she insisted more on nurturing that relationship.
Anyway she likely knows how teens and young adults are but knows that unlike with you especially with her medical issues she won't have until they are mid 30s and want to know the family again.[/quote]
Only she’s acting like my 15yo is still a small child. It’s like a weird cognitive dissonance or something. And like I said in the OP, DD is willing to make time, just not entire days of time. My mom is taking this very personally, like she did something wrong ingress of DD just growing up and having her own life, too. [/quote]

I think it's like I said she's dealing with the idea of her own mortality.  15 years has gone by so fast so will the next with everyone aging including her and unlike with you she sees how she might not be around. nothing for you to fix or lecture her about or make her understand [/quote]
