In reply to Mom Hung Up on Me, T Glad What I said..., posted by Poet on December 1, 2005, at 21:38:20
Some of my most satisfying conversations with my mother end up with her hanging up. Actually, most of them do.
You said what you needed to say. She needs to acknowledge the pain your brother brought you. Until then, how can any of your conversations about your brother be anything but superficial. Or maybe any of your conversations at all. :(
I guess I'm almost lucky in a way that I can clearly see that my mother is ill. I watch her with other people and can see that it's not just me. In some ways that's an easier situation, because I just set firm boundaries and am able to hold them without anger.
