Guest guest Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 I am still pondering why my nada did not make an effort to meet up with my family while I was in the Northwest. Some of you will ask, what I am sighing about? I am sort of surprised at how easy it was to be emotionally OK with not seeing my parents. Not that I feel cold about it, or aloof. I could ask this, What kind of mom has no interest in visiting their child, who has not come to their part of the country in SIXTEEN years? Well, the kind of mother that does not know how to conduct herself as an equal to an adult daughter who speaks her mind, won't dye her hair gray and thus reminds her nada of her mortality, I guess. I am kind of relieved, of course, that nothing bad was said between us on the phone or face-to-face to spoil my family's vacation, but I had thought surely nada would reach back when she got my note... We could have made amends on the phone at least. I guess I am set free from obligation, fear and guilt. Now I have reality, and can learn to let go of my need to interpret nada's silence. Older, wiser and more sober every day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
