[quote=Anonymous]I have a terrible relationship with my mother. She was an absent parent. She still is absent. We never talk. She never calls. We do not see each other and she rarely sees my children. I sent her a text wishing her luck before a big work event she was heading into. Her response to me was to begin raving about one of her younger (age 30, gay male) co-worker. She has this thing with the education, wealth, details of other people - it's all she wants to talk about. If I begin to tell her I am sick or say something about her grandchildren she immediately starts to rant and rave about a co-worker, thus I limit my exchanges with her because it's draining. Anyway, I am wishing her luck and she tells me this co-worker is "hard not to love", "has 20 mothers in the office", and "she can't help but dote on him"... My response was that I really did not care and I ended the exchange.

I know it should not have bothered me, but this is a woman who never bothered with me. Never sees me. Never calls. When we do speak she does not want to hear about her grandchildren or me. I text her to wish her good luck and she launches into a rant about her surrogate office child she can't help but love. For the life of me I can't figure out why she doesn't want to see my kids or hear about them, but has the time and energy to "adopt" random office people. [/quote]
