Lately my IC and I have moved on from H and M (honestly, he rarely comes up anymore) to my R with my mother. She's singularly focused on the hobby she took up after retirement, she can't even carry on a conversation about anything else. Support for my sich? Nope, it's not even talked about. But, I wasn't asking her for anything and I wasn't especially trying to be there for her, either. So, I've considered that I need to take a more active role in the relationship, and drop any expectations. Hmmmm...... where have I heard that before?
Anyway, I loved what Betsey wrote (of course) and I hope things start looking up for you, Maybell, dear.
