[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OK my mom and I are BFFs. We talk/text multiple times a day.

And she NEVER calls me. I always have to initiate calls. A few years ago I realized this and just stopped calling. After a month my dad had an intervention and said how upset my mom was. I decided life was too short and just started calling her again. I know she enjoys me calling, so I just put up with the fact that she won't call me. [/quote]

In your case, your mom may consider that you are much busier than she is, and have kids' schedules to manage, so it's best if you call when it's a good time for you. That's how I think, as a mom of an adult. There's no drama involved.

OP has more issues, going way back, with her family dynamic and with tragedies. It's always difficult when we realize some things about our parents, that they will never be what we'd hoped. At that point, you have to accept and compromise, set down your boundaries to limit negative interactions, and then appreciate whatever positives there are.[/quote]
