My DM worked hard raising us but wouldn’t have been emotionally supportive. Rarely a conversation about how you are feeling, your concerns etc but she was good on a practical level.
As she’s gotten older (early 70s) and the grandchildren are teens she never calls, never calls in etc
She would be very upset if I didn’t call in a couple of times a week, take her out, check in etc but never ever seems to show an interest in reciprocating. No mobility etc issues.
Is this normal when your mother ages? I see friends with more adult reciprocal type relationships but I’m wondering if that’s just the exception rather than the rule
