[quote=Anonymous]When I used to call my mom more regularly, we would chat for a few minutes, and I would actually talk about real issues in my life. Then, I realized that she always hurried off the phone, and there was no follow up ever to what we discussed . So, I stopped discussing anything substantive and started chatting about the dogs and other unimportant topics (not much on my kids--she doesn't really care to know details there). She would also try to get off the phone after a few minutes. So, I have kind of stopped calling. Now, she calls me every few weeks or sends me texts that say "call me when you can" or other things that make it seem like an emergency. Then I call and she says she hadn't heard from me and was worried. Then we talk about the dogs, and then she says she has to go--just wanted to make sure everything was ok. Fast forward 3 weeks, same thing happens again. Honestly, I think she is too wrapped up in her own life to even realize this is sad, and I am much happier sort of having her be an older relative I speak with every now and again on a superficial level.
