[quote=Anonymous] I'm afraid neither of you have great communication skills with each other (although I'm sure you do with other people) and that this is worsened by past expectations and disappointments. What would she say if you looked her in the eye and said: "Mom, when you first promised me this money, at first you said I would need to do X to get it. I did it. Now you are asking Y and Z. I'm afraid that you will keep asking me to do a lot of things in the future and that you will never fulfill your promise. I don't want to resent you long term or fight with you over this. I'm just disappointed right now. I would like to discuss a firm date of transfer and what you expect before that." Then draw it up in writing. And in the future, OP, if you don't advocate rationally for yourself, don't expect people to look out for your interests, even your closest and dearest. [/quote]
