[quote=Anonymous]Pull the brat card and say something like "Well for a bit I was thinking of trying to pull it off, but since you are acting SO PETULANT about it, it's not happening" HUMPH! Don't do that. Except in your head. I'd try a good scream into your pillow. Maybe a kick boxing class? Then one conversation with your mother that starts with as much empathy as you can muster. Something like: "Mom, I know you really want me to visit with the kids. I know this comes from a good place because you love and miss us. I want to come too! But it's just not possible right now and there's nothing either of us can do to change that. Your guilt trips are only making me feel unkind things towards you, so please stop. Please. Every time you try to use guilt or tears or pressure to change things, you are hurting our relationship. Please stop. I love you and hope you'll consider coming to us sometime soon."[/quote]
