[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mother lives 3 blocks from me and in a year we speak in total about 2 hours. We see her at Christmas and if by chance she stops by maybe once a year for 20 minutes.

My adult dd's don't communicate with her and she doesn't call them either.

Im cordial when I see her but it is fake on both sides and if I never seen her again I wouldn't care. [/quote]

What led to this, or did you just grow apart? [/quote]

We were never close as a child i lived with my grandparents because my mother chose a partner who was abusive and went on to have 5 other kids with. She never attended anything for school or took me to doctors appointments. But did everything for my siblings including joining the pta. Even as an adult she would have bbq's and not invite me or my family but my siblings and partners were there.As I grew older she never put in the effort to be a real part of my or my children's life. When she does call its to tell me about herself or bad mouth a sibling. This past Christmas she invited every one over including my sister who she talks badly about but excluded us. She came over Christmas day forc20 minute's and the 1st thing she did was to talk about my sister and haw she acted and the things she said about me while she was intoxicated.

So I keep her at arms length.

I will say im thankful because I learned all the things not to do/say or act with my daughters and have close relationships with all 3 dd's because of her toxicity [/quote]
