My mom called to tell me that she won't babysit for us during Retrouvaille. She said she does not want us to get back together.

She says she does not trust him or like him and she never has. She wants me to move on with my life.

She says she does not want to enable people she does not like.

I know she loves me, and has given me close to $10.000 when this fiasco started. She is also not a vindictive, mean or controlling person. This is really the first time in my life she has spoken so plainly about what she thinks of me.

I am very sad. She told me to trust my gut feeling.

Well, so much for family peace.
