[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 566389, member: 1233"] Thank you all. There were some wonderful parts to the evening, and other than the panic attack, no real bad parts. Part of the panic attack came from having my mom not return so many calls. We had intended to go to lunch and talk, and do a few other things together. In many ways we enjoy each other and miss each other. So having her not call me at all for months, not even after telling me that she would call me back at a specific time and day? And not answer her phone at that time/day either? Sent me into a bad place. My parentsdo step in. My mom spent many years trying to get me to give her custody of Wiz. She would tell husband and I how he would be sooooooooooo much better living 13 hrs away from us, sending him boxes of toys and games and new clothes (he was a total clothes junky until about 7 or 8) every month (more often than once a week most months). She undermined us a whole lot until we agreed to let him live with my mom and dad. My dad was unaware of a LOT of this. He would have been furious. by the time I realized that, there was no point in telling my dad. it would only cause problems. But they do love all the grands, and they do try to do their best and have taken on a LOT. We do appreciate this and recognize this. Like any of us, they did the best they could and when they knew better and were capable of doing better, they daughter better. Or at least they tried. Mom and i are going to try to get together this week or next to have lunch and maybe do some holiday planning and shopping. We want to rebuild our relationship. I realized I accidentally erased something from my original post. My bro had his car crisis a few mnutes before husband and i arrived at my folks. He tried to invite himself for dinner. My mother and father TOGETHER told him he couldn't come over because ths was their evening with us. in my opinion this is HUGE. Then they did not bring this up as a brag, it just came as a comment when they mentioned something else he daughter. [/QUOTE]
