[quote=Anonymous]I posted a while back about my mother not speaking to me.  Many of you give me good advice, a reality check, and lots to think about, all of which I appreciate.  I've seen my mother three times since then; once at my son's 16th birthday and at two of my sons' basketball games.  She didn't address or acknowledge me at any of these events, but did speak to everyone around me, acting like I was invisible.  I've reached out a few times to tell her I loved and missed her and hoped we can have a relationship.  I also told her that I need for her not to use the silent treatment with me.  Each time, she's not replied.  In the past, my father's stance has been that I should do whatever is necessary to make peace.  I've told him that I can't do that anymore.

Now, we're at Easter.  In the past, we've usually gone to my parents' the day before or on Easter.  My father texted me to see if we wanted to go there.  I replied that we'd usually love to spend the holiday with them but that my mother's anger toward me is uncomfortable for my husband, kids, and me. This was yesterday and he hasn't replied.  As usual, I'm probably the bad guy because I won't acquiesce to my mother.

I'm in counseling, again.
