Hi, I am sorry for the difficult situation you are in. I think it would be extremely beneficial for you to talk to one of Michele's DB coaches. Your coach will help you get clarity on what you should be saying and doing, so that you are more likely to bring her closer and not push her any further away. Also, you will feel stronger and more in control of your situation. I know your mom means well in her advice (as do most parents, family and friends), but it is much more advisable to discuss with an expert and someone not emotionally involved with you. I would be happy to discuss this further with you. Take good care.
