[quote=Anonymous]I don't categorize talking to my mom about things like this as gossiping or talking behind my sibling's back or complaining. My mom would be mad too. We may help each other move through it more positively and not lash out at the sister. Minimally we'd need to discuss the absence of the kid, who was a participant in the ceremony and coming until recently. It's not a nothing that this key family member is not coming, if you view nieces and nephews and grandkids as core family members (as I do).

I'm sure my mom would soon say let's just move on, we talked about it, and now it's over. And I would say yep. I think this could be healthy and helpful. Of course I can envision a yucky mom/daughter convo that would be shitty, but OP gave us no reason to believe it was yucky at all.

Your mom's approach is fine. But there's nothing wrong with a different approach. I too have a crazy close relationship with my siblings and parents, and we all talk about all family issues a ton. Should my parents retire, get another cat, etc. :)[/quote]
