Hey Julia.. Happy Birthday !!!!! Things with Mums always blow over hey, so I hope you have a good night out with her.

As for what she said.. have you read any of Passionate Marriage and about being a better differentiated adult? Its got some stuff there to do with family.. in that, you can differentiate yourself and not get drawn into arguments if they express a different opinion. Could you acknowledge its hard for her to understand and to be accepting? And not get upset and angry back? But just say, you respect her right to an opinion, but could she respect your wish to continue friendly relations with H and you would appreciate her at least supporting you in that? I even rang my Dad up specifically before me and bf got back together to say, I know you are hurt and angry at what he did and I am asking alot of you Dad, I am asking you to be very accepting and forgiving of whats gone on, but if you love me, that would be more of a help to me than getting mad at him.
