[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 368470, member: 1991"] Word it nicely (use her tactic back) but don't reveal your own actions/needs movements beyond what she already knows. Also use this to minute her own inability to help you despite earlier offers. A sort of "Good to hear from you, Mom, it seems we've all been going through difficult times. I was sorry you were unable to let me come and stay after all, especially after you seemed so excited at the idea when you proposed it [give dates]. Of course I understand how difficult it could have been, with the need to show the house and all. Have you been able to put it on the market yet? Maybe if I had been able to stay with you, I could have helped you reach your own deadline after all. I am so glad you said you can't wait to see difficult child - he will be so glad, he was beginning to wonder if your life was just too hectic to fit in time for him; time can go by so fast, and already two years have flown by! Let me know when you want to see him, so we can put some plans in place to help. He will have grown out of all recognition when you see him!" You get the idea... Marg [/QUOTE]
