[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, here's my best tip: Expect nothing from her. She is who she is and always has been. Would it be better if she were someone else? Sure. But you know who she is and don't expect any more or any less. Period. I have to do this and it works wonders on your soul. [/quote] Yes. Accept her for who she is, and if you need some other mothering that you know she can't give, get it from somewhere else. In the days when kids were raised in large extended families, if one's own mom wasn't up to snuff there would be aunts, older sisters, even neighbors who could fill the gap. Not everyone can be a mom like you see in movies/fairy-tales. At least she cared enough to call you.[/quote]
