Thanks. I guess I do over analyse. I have always been one to make people happy and not upset the apple cart. Always tried to keep peace by not saying things that I now know should have been said.

You're right about blood. H loves is mama even though she didn't do for him what I've done for my S's and she can't even remember his bday but does her other kids.

I truly want to make things better between her and myself. It's one of the things I needed to do for myself to start things anew.

I guess I thought she would be flattered that I'd ask her for advice since I used to not even really talk to her when I was around her. Maybe she smelled a rat but I was being geniune. She did give me 1 piece of good advice. 'Take care of myself.'
