[quote=Anonymous]OP I feel for you. My situation is a little different but similar. I've learned just to take what she can give. She does things only on her own terms, but that is true my whole life. She never watched me do the sports I did in HS because she didn't like to, but she'd come to my orchestra concerts for example. Still, growing up I felt protected and loved, we always had family dinners together, I got a lot of hugs. I'll never forget though how alone I felt when I had my first child and my parents and rest of the family live out of state. DH and I spent 5 days in the hospital listening to all these happy families come visit the new babies and my Mom didn't contact me after the congratulations given when DH called to share the news, let alone visit. She no longer travels, but when the kids, now tweens, were little she'd visit and fondly look at them but not interact. She does love us though, just on her terms. I think my own growing up has been accepting that. [/quote]
