[quote=Anonymous] Time will tell, OP. Don't force yourself, just keep going slow. That's all. My mother has always said and done hurtful things until things reached breaking point 2 years ago and I really wanted to cut her off for ever. DH persuaded me not to, and I am glad he did because otherwise I would not have been able to see my father. This summer we will all see each for the first time since that day 2 years ago. I hope it will go well, but like you, I only want a superficial relationship - I've seen what's underneath and it's not something I want in my life. By keeping in phone contact the rest of the time, she can talk to my children (monitored, before she can blurt out they're fat or stupid), and send them birthday gifts and be grandmotherly a little bit, which I'm sure she enjoys.
