Janet from what you tell us your mother does sound like a very selfish lady, she does love you and your family but probably doesn't know how to show it. She will be gone for a few mts. I don't know if you speak to each other while she is in Fla. if not being she is old , act like nothing has happened when you do speak. You both need the reprieve from each other. When she gets back in April , you both will forget this fight. Like the others have mentioned she is up in age, try to ignore her ways, I know that its easier said than done.
Happy New Year! |

Yes, I do know she loves me and my family, I have no doubt and we do love her...really. It just seems like she wants to have confrontation...and I don't know why. For 2007, I know I will be trying not to fall into that trap. Thank you all for the advice....I'm going to try to start the new year off with a better attitude and understanding for my mother.

Janet, I'm sorry this is to difficult.
Family can be so challenging! I can understand not wanting to write your Mother off regardless of how hard she is to deal with. I think you're right in trying to just make the best you can of the situation since she's not likely to change no matter what you say or do.
