[QUOTE="keista, post: 462397, member: 11965"] Take a DEEP breath. In through the nose, hold for a count of five, out through the mouth. Repeat as necessary. I'm very sorry your mom is not giving you the support you need or thought you would get form her. I'm also sorry to say *Get used to it*. You've gotten her input and solution - she had you take care of your bro. Other than that, she didn't do much else. What makes you think she'll be any more attentive or involved with your kids? Again, I'm sorry it's a harsh statement, but it is the reality. the sooner you learn to disconnect from hope of support from her, the sooner you'll feel better. I don't have a mom to send me such emails, but I do have a sister that does the same exact thing. I always read or watch the link, hoping for some useful information, but that's it. I NEVER respond. It's hard enough getting into discussions over the phone the 8 or so times a year we talk, or even in person during my one week visit. She just doesn't get it, and maybe never will. I accept that this [B]IS[/B] her way of trying to be supportive and helpful, but it's not what I need, and it is not helpful, so I just ignore and always try to stick to other topics during communications.:hangin: [/QUOTE]
