Lots of history, none of it good which lead to a spectacular break in my relationship with my Mum, 18 months ago.
She accused me of child abuse, which was so insane I put the phone down and haven't spoken to her since.
The accusation flipped a switch in me, she is the one who is guilty of abuse. My childhood was rubbish and she stood by knowing her boyfriend was abusing me.
So why, now I know she has had a small stroke this weekend, do I feel so awful. Its not like I am going to rush to her bedside full of care, the thought makes me feel ill, but I am wondering round in a total funk and cross because I feel so odd.
DH and I discussed it all last night and he can't understand. When I tell him just a few of the things that happened he simply can't understand why I have had anything to do with her.
We are also both concerned about our children's perception of the situation, it is still Granny, regardless of how she has behaved to me.
