I wish I could help my mom

Maybe tell her you miss her and want to see her. She may be so caught up in the other stuff that this doesn't occur to her.

When my mom was caught up in my sister's care over the last few years, and understandably so (sis had MS), I occasionally had to gently remind her that she had another daughter too. Very gently. She just got whirled up in the other stuff. She would NEVER do this deliberately.

Telling your mom you miss her might help, particulary if you have been strong for her. WHICH IS GOOD. Just remind her that THIS kid needs to see her mom too.

It's my fault I haven't seen her I haven't been able to get back home for a while... but my hubby had a great idea and I emailed my mom about it so hopefully they take us up on the offer. he said we should meet somewhere in the middle, like Naigara Falls, for a weekend.... no cell phones LOL so no one can get a hold of any of us hahaha.

I always tell her I love her actually we don't say I love you... we say "a doo doo" LOl because that's what the little ones always say and it's cute and funny. I talk to her on the phone for an hour or so every week and we always say that lol.

She is really trying to get away from all this drama. it is not fair of them to be putting her int he middle of their issues with their kids all the time. yes they need support but they can't be causing her this stress all the time.

She is 55 and when it is starting to affect her sleeping... that's not good. Not that 55 is old or anything but she shouldnt have to be losing sleep over these things.

her and I had our issues when I was a teen... I feel terrible for it now... but we are SO close now. We never thought it would happen that we would ever be practically best friends but I am so glad we are.... I just wish there was something I could do to get her away for a stress free weekend for once. I hope she takes us up on the Niagara falls offer. that will be fun.

but I will be sure to tell her flat out that I miss her very much. Thanks for the tip

I hope when she meets up with you and hubby, she tells the family to call her at a "forwarding" number - except it's the number for Crisis Intervention or something like that!
