[QUOTE="SeekingStrength, post: 662401, member: 17635"] Hi, Just started reading on this thread a few nights ago and have a lot of catching up to do, so forgive me if it is not cool to jump into the middle of a conversation wanting shoulders to cry on. My mom is not talking to me right now and has not in a few weeks. That happens with some regularity since I was about 6 yo. She may go years without going silent and one time she went several years being silent. It usually last a few weeks/months. After she got mad this last time (she was complaining on the phone that my dad won't listen to her directions in the car and I said something to the effect of, [I]Well, Mom it is difficult because you give them about 2 feet before the driver is supposed to take the turn). [/I]And, she got furious. ---and, okay, i got furious right back. There was more to the convo, but that is it in a nutshell. And, i know [I]there is your side, there is my side and there is the truth[/I], lol. I probably did not come across as nicely as I remember. ANYway, since then my dad told me that she sent Difficult Child money. Dad and I had a nice conversation on the phone. He has never, ever gone silent on me. I have tried to reach him on their home phone at least ten times since then. He has not answered. I have tried mornings, afternoons and evenings. Now, my brother has gone silent. He has not returned a phone call, an email and several texts. My brother has also never gone silent on me. In fact, my brother usually returns a text within 10 minutes. We are 13 months apart and are pretty close. We never argue about anything. Last time I spoke with my brother, he told me there is a family get together with cousins this next Saturday and that I am invited. This is being planned by an aunt who lives in another town and will take place in a restaurant. I, now, have no intention of going. Things have just gone weird. and, i suspect that Difficult Child has something to do with all this. As of Sunday about 9pm, I have stopped trying to reach anybody. This happened after I texted sister in law Sunday night just to make sure nothing was wrong and nobody was in the hospital. She texted back, [I]No, all is fine[/I] with a smiley face. sister in law does not get along with my parents and I doubt she would take part in hiding anything from me. I do not know that anybody IS hiding anything from me. Obviously, i do not know WTH is going on. Difficult Child is extremely vindictive and I can only imagine what he has told my parents to pay husband and me back for not helping him this last time. My mom almost always believes what Difficult Child tells her, but my dad and brother were the first two, years ago, to decide Difficult Child had major problems and could not be trusted. Something just seems to be amiss. My guess is it is best for 59yo me to lay low. Your thoughts, if you have a moment? Thanks. SS [/QUOTE]
