Even when she asks a question, then she continues on with whatever verbal loop she's on. "I'm not stupid, I just need people to explain things. I can learn things. I didn't grow up with computers . . ." While I'm trying to explain something she asked about. And totally hear you about not being anything but an extension. No real inquiry about my life or work. No real interest except the very few things she wants to deal with in her increasingly narrow life. I'm sad because it's based on fear of everything, and she's pulled my dad into it. <br /><br />It's sad that your mother can't share in the wonderful life that you have created and all your accomplishments. Please know that there are people who are happy for you. Wishing you all the best of the season---VValeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01895625114035965626noreply@blogger.com
