[quote=Anonymous]My grandmother softened with age- or at least that is how I perceived it early in the process. Really, she was released from a lot of trauma and stress no longer having to cope with my mentally ill grandfather. I thought she was cold and uninterested when I was a kid, but I learned she was just absolutely emotionally exhausted all the time. She blossomed when he died and fortunately lived a long life with a lot of restoration. My mother had the same untreated demons as my grandfather, and she was a terrible, damaging person. Now she's had therapy and medication for 20 years. Our relationship is more like siblings because she didn't really mother me. But she is so different now. Kind, able to listen, reliable. I am glad she is in my life.[/quote]
