[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think any of us are happy that we are not close with our mothers.  But I guarantee that in most cases, it's better to not be forcing a relationship that is not healthy.

I have recently had to restrict my relationship (and my childrens' too, sadly) with my own parents due to circumstances that I find incompatible with having a healthy environment for my kids (or for myself) to be in.  I am damn sure not happy about it, but I do believe I am doing right by my own children by not allowing them around such people.[/quote]

NP here but this explains my situation as well.  I have not spoken to my parents in over 2 years.  I mourn the relationship that "could have been". I'm sad at times that I don't have parents to share happy and sad moments with. It makes me angry that I have to explain to my children why we no longer see Grandma and Grandpa. And it pisses me off that my parents lie to the rest of the family and pretend that there is nothing wrong.

BUT, even with all of those emotions going on I know that it is healthier for me, my husband and our children to not have contact with them.

So, to the OP...you have to figure out if your mother's actions are simply annoying and something you can live with or is it so bad that you would be better off without contact.
