[quote=Anonymous]My parents' lives revolved around my siblings and me when we were kids. They never did anything without us. I don't even remember a single time they went out to dinner or to a movie without a kid present. The extent of our travel was driving to the Outer Banks. When the last kid moved out, they were so sad. They spent a lot of time moping around the house, watching TV and bickering.

Thankfully, by luck they made friends with this one couple who then brought them into their big, active social circle. Now they have a big group of empty nester/retired friends. They've started traveling all over the world - China, Spain, Morocco, Italy. This past New Year's Eve, my mom called me tipsy and happy at midnight from a big loud party. I was in bed in my pjs (newborn and toddler- no desire to do anything but sleep). They were out at this party until 5 AM dancing! I am really happy for them.

You know the version of her that dedicated herself to her family. Now you are lucky enough to get to know who she is apart from just being your mom.  Is there something you aren't getting from her that you need?   [/quote]
