[quote=Anonymous]OP, here are my thoughts:

First, You need to call your mother before you go. No matter how horrible she was to you, it's not really fair to show up out of the blue with no warning.  And you want to give her a chance to act like a better person, right?  If you call her, both of you will be better prepared for this meeting.  (Also, what if she happens to be out of town that week?)

Second, I definitely think you should re-establish contact with your mother.  Maybe some of the pps are right that you should work through this with a therapist first.  And you still have time to work with a therapist anyway since this is not till Thanksgiving. Be prepared for it not to go the way you want it to go. Your mother may still be horrible.  But if she is, I bet you come away feeling better because you're a grownup now and you'll learn that your mother doesn't control you anymore.  You've made a life for yourself and your kid. And then maybe you'll be able to move on.

Because you clearly haven't moved on.  Even though you left home, this relationship is stilling haunting you.  Go home, and whatever happens, find some closure.  Do it before your mom dies and it's too late for closure.

Good luck, OP! We're rooting for you![/quote]
