[quote=Anonymous]Op I have a similar experience, I think. Once I had kids it actually gave me something to talk about with my mom and the relationship improved. I do not really enjoy hanging out with just my mom, I find it awkward, but she is a great grandma and it brings her and my kids a lot of joy to be together. She is in her mid 70s and I am trying to make her most of her “twilight” years with my kids. Through my 20s and 30s I found her to always be trying to build a relationship on her terms, which weren’t terms I was interested in (she tried to tell me how to live my life, was super judgy, was always giving me tips on things and then getting upset if I disagreed, etc). I didn’t trust her enough to ever open up about anything. And so we practically had no relationship, or a very hostile one with a lot of guilt on my part. [/quote]
