[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 468311, member: 1233"] Totally NOT an apology. It is passive aggressive and also flat out says that she thinks that you are a liar. It is also VERY wrong to ask you out to do ANYTHING in front of your kids. I don't care what it is. The request needs to be made in private so that if someone has practice or a lesson or lots of homework or chores or is super tired or sick or you had other plans, then you can say no, explain why and not have a big mess wth upset kids etc..... I cut my bro off just over a year ago. My mom never really accepted it but after driving Jess to tears and a panic attack on her birthday, she stopped pushing. Now she just doesn't return calls to us. It hurts. I am learnng to accept that and just let it be. Life has been a LOT calmer and less stressful and has had a lot less conflama. You may find this would be true for your family too. My kids know they can call their grandparents at any time, arrange to go do things with them unless there is a conflict of some kind or they are sick. My kids don't call. They mostly just don't want to deal with my mom, esp because she keeps trying to "talk" to them about me and how sick (mentally ill) I am because I cut gfgbro out of my life. Even if you don't cut your mom out of the kids' lives, think hard before they get to go do anything with her with-o you. I am sorry that this is so hard. [/QUOTE]
