Thanks I can for your post. It helped me a lot in putting things into perspective. I realize that my Mother is jealous of me. I didn’t want to believe it, but it is true. I don’t share a lot of the good things in my life with her as she never reacts or shows emotions. It is like she doesn’t care or is incapable of caring. I agree, my kids (adults) and my Grandson are my everything. We are able to share all of our emotions with each other. I love them unconditionally and I want them to be happy. I can you are right, it is my Mother’s issue not mine. I am realizing that also. I was ruled with guilt as a child and looking back my Mother has always been like this. My oldest Daughter says that she thinks that I have changed and grown so much that I am able to see how my Mother really is and that my Mother doesn’t like it. You are right, I shouldn’t feel guilt about the good stuff!!!! My Grandson and Daughter came home from camping a little early so we just came back to my house instead of me spending the night. We are going to hang out together the next 4 days (spring break) and then we are off on our little road trip. I am so thankful for everyone here as you all seem like family to me and the support and advice I receive is truly a gift. Take care.
