[quote=Anonymous]Poor you. Poor your mom. You both WANT it but can't create it. What about being super honest with her? "Mom, I think we both really want to have great visits when we see each other, but let's just admit, WITHOUT BLAME, it simply doesn't go very well for either of us. Can we each list two things each of us can do that would make it more pleasant for the other one, and commit to trying to do those on this visit? We're both good people, we both want the same thing, and maybe we need to accept that we can't have that without actually working towards it. So let's work towards enjoying our visits. What do you think? What are two things I could do to make our visit more pleasant for you?" Would that work? [/quote]
