I could use prayers for the relationship with my mom.

I'm getting the silent treatment from her.

Apparently, even though I visit her at least once-a-week (and call at least once between visits) it's not enough. During my last visit on Saturday, she barely looked at me or spoke to me.    My dd commented later how she noticed Oma wouldn't respond during my visit.

I'm going over there again today to drop off a gift for my brother (it's his birthday) and the visit may be strained. I pray it's not. I'm not sure how much I can take without backing away for a while. (opposite of what she wants, but I just become so negative here at home over all of this    )

Thank you!

Thank you so much!
I was told that I'm not giving my mom enough attention. I'm trying to figure it all out.

I am SO sorry, Michaela. My step mom used to do that to me...........I know how much it hurts. I guess that is what they want, isn't it?

You have my prayers, for you and your children, while they try to cope with this, and for your husband as he tries to be of support to you.

Michaela, I'll say a prayer for you. I can't imagine how painful it must be to have a tension like that between you and your mom. I pray it all works out ...

Sorry to bring this back to the top.

Your prayers & continuing my visits (loving her), instead of pulling away even a tiny bit, has made her come around. Today, SHE called ME for the first time in at least three weeks.

Thank you for your prayers & understanding.
