[quote=Anonymous]I have come to realize that people in different spheres of my mother’s life have very different experiences of her. She was a wonderful college professor - 40 years later, some of her students are still in touch with her. She was a wonderful museum and nature center docent in her retirement. AND she was a terrible mother. As far as what to say when someone gushes about her, I try to just not respond - sometimes that works - the conversation moves on without any comment from me. If I can’t get away without responding, I say “people in different spheres of her life have very different experiences with her”. I find that usually the conversation has moved on by the time they work out what I mean by that. I can’t lie - too much psychic energy is wasted by that.[/quote]
