My relationship with my mum is horrible. I'm in my early 50s and she's in her mid 80s. She has always been a confident, independent woman. My Dad has just passed away. She ran the household. My older siblings have a good relationship with her. She forgets my children's birthdays (her grandchildren), my husbands name (no she doesn't have dementia). She talks over me when I talk about what's happening in mine or my children's life to her. I moved to Qld 30 yrs ago, she's in country Vic. So visiting hasn't been easy. I would go down with my children twice a year. She hasn't come up to see me, expect once when driving through Brisbane on her way to see her brother (20 yrs ago). I would ring her once a week. I now ring once a month. She never has called me. I feel that time is running out and, to be honest, I don't want to have remorse or guilt in the future. How do it get passed this feeling that Mum doesn't really like me & be ok with that??
