[QUOTE="Rumpole, post: 552837, member: 15255"] Of course, it's probably the most difficult thing of all. I think it's probably natural maternal instinct to be concerned and waiting for the shoe to drop; equally, when I know my Mum is hurt or disappointed, it makes me very sad and more tempted to want to block it all out, which naturally leads to more disappointment and hurt.... no easy answers... I suppose if it were easy it wouldn't be like it is. R (Edit: Things have worked themselves out with my Mum... after a very rough couple of days after she arrived in London, we're back on track and interacting in the way I'd been hoping all the time I'd been waiting to see her since I've been here... I think "waiting for the shoe to drop" seems to really be in sync with the fact that our relationship feels like a yo-yo... that's what is most difficult about it... if it were consistently awful, or consistenly good, that might be easier for both of us to deal with... it's the "things seem like they're great" followed by very difficult times that is most heart-rending) [/QUOTE]
