Something I have struggled with in my relationship with my father is that just because they are parents doesn't mean they are right, or even always deserve to be treated with respect. Respect is a two way street in relationships, even with parents. Someday she will realize that she is pushing you away, and if not then that is her loss. You are lucky to have a husband that loves you and a life that is as perfect as life can be, built on the building blocks that you have set down. Never burn the bridge in case she comes around, but always stand strong and defend yourself and your life.bejellyfishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08568563954156236112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2856806566194826619.post-23039515110395638642011-07-26T15:50:56.427-05:002011-07-26T15:50:56.427-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.bejellyfishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08568563954156236112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2856806566194826619.post-69725814781149841442011-07-26T14:09:18.915-05:002011-07-26T14:09:18.915-05:00I definitely agree with the previous comments.

And this is coming from someone that totally gets it. I'm the same way with my dad as you are with your mom. I do hope that it works itself out, though!Fledgling Techiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16835217216412938488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2856806566194826619.post-63575676409166186672011-07-26T12:42:48.887-05:002011-07-26T12:42:48.887-05:00You did the right thing.

And sometimes it is better just let things go. <br /><br />Even though she is your mom, and wants to give advice, she also needs to understand that you are old enough to live your life in your way, and paint your house in a way you like it. <br /><br />Hopefully things turn out to be better, and you can have the family Christmas. Since I have been in a situation like that, I would recommend you to continue living your life, and allowing her a chance to be part of it but not changing because of her...Ninahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05543205415852238903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2856806566194826619.post-1162418627648295492011-07-26T12:11:03.691-05:002011-07-26T12:11:03.691-05:00I think you did the right thing.

It sounds like your mom was doing that just for the drama effect, the attention. Im sorry she was so horrible to you. I hope you get to host Christmas at your house, even if it's just you two and Joel's family. Have you heard from her since? <br /><br />So she never came over to visit while you lived here???Uncork and Unwinedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13003284348298968325noreply@blogger.com
