[QUOTE="nlj, post: 659552, member: 17650"] Actually Witz, her behaviour means that all obligation on my part is removed. If she was a 'normal' loving mother I would probably be stressing about visiting her as often as possible and worrying about her and doing loads of things for her. As it is, the obligation has been removed by her, so I don't feel guilty if I don't visit for a while. Maybe it's a loads off. Every cloud ... My misery is mainly to do with my own behaviour, how I don't understand why I carry on visiting. It's also do to with feeling a bit cheated I suppose. It would have been nice to have a mother I could turn to. Instead I have a mother who wouldn't recognise my troubled son if she passed him in the street. She cares only about herself, in fact she cares so much about herself only, that she doesn't really need me to care about her. I don't do therapists. I just walk on beaches and drink Earl Grey tea :). [/QUOTE]
