I've let my mum off the hook.

And I'm going to visit her, next Monday if she has the car. Yes, I didn't feel that I got much sympathy in June, but it's really time for me to forgive and forget. The lesson that I've learned from all this, is to E-mail my mum a request for her support, ahead of time, before announcing the passing of Mick Avory to her, over the phone - when the time comes, if she's still alive.

I am soooo proud of you. Perhaps laugh and tell her about the situation if you can do it in a way that she will understand and not get her upset with you for holding negative feeling against her. My mom passed away early.. at 69 and I so wish she was here to listen to my every problem in the world like she always did. She was the only one I could tell everything to, who would not judge me, but would not be afraid to hit me in between the eyes and say "maybe it is you"..and even though it hurt at the time...by gosh she was right. You know, now that I look back it was all my ADHD that caused the problems...lol...but she had it too so she had no idea what she was saying.

Most Moms just want to feel appreciated and a little thanks and praise will get you miles and miles of special things. Bring her a flower, even if you pick it..but not hers..lol..and say "I imagine raising me was not easy and I thank you for all you did" and if she says "yaaaaa and don't you forget it" just smile...cause she really, really appreciates you noticed.

All people, whether child or adult, just want to be heard and listened to....if you don't listen, people will talk louder and say it again till it escalates ...

Woops got off on a tangent...Bringing it back home. I am happy for you.
