[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve been polite/low contact with my mom for a long time and until recently it worked well ( for me.) it wasn’t without challenges - my sister ended up dealing with her/hosting her a lot more than I did due to geographic proximity and a different relationship, that did create some resentment on my sister’s end, which I fully understand. And when my mother had a health crisis, we really both have needed to be deeply involved and I’m doing my best to be dutiful although it feels weird after a very distant relationship a long time.

Why do you feel you have to be involved after such a strained relationship.
My mom was not very involved in her parents care because she moved away, and she's made a point to tell me that she's not available to even spend time with my kids unless we travel to her...
So, why when the script flips and she's the one who needs help, should I drop everything/ or do more than I am comfortable with to help her?  
Adult relationships are two way relationships....[/quote]
