[quote=Anonymous]I don't think your mom expects to have a normal relationship, she hopes for it and wishes it to be true. She probably knows she's been a lousy mother in many ways but she also probably wishes she could be better. I think if I were you I would be very clear with your mother what words and behaviors you cannot tolerate and if she is able to comply then try to forge a new somewhat "normal" relationship with her, if you want to. Probably unrealistic to expect her to acknowledge or apologize for all the things she did wrong in the past. Very unlikely that will happen. If that's what you need you might want to just move on without her instead.[/quote]
