[quote=Anonymous]Another superficial relationship here. I went through some therapy relating to my issues w/my mom. My family is fairly emotionally distant, and I was raised to be very independent. I think confiding in my parents as a kid would have made them uncomfortable. The times recently that I went out on a limb trying to get closer to her (telling her I was in therapy, for example) she told people about it that she had no business telling, so that was the end of that. It's sad, but I think I've finally accepted that she doesn't understand what it means to be a caring, trustworthy friend. We just talk about my son and her social life and things she sees on TV. She rarely asks about me personally and when she does, she doesn't pay attention to my response. I am determined to not repeat this pattens with my kid, but I'm afraid I might since I haven't seen up close what a tight family relationship looks like. [/quote]
