Appreciate thoughts from others on this issue.
I have been NC with mother for 5 years (her choice). My adult daughter met up with her last summer as she missed her and had a lot of memories of times she spent with her up to age 16. DD made contact.
She had previously made contact 3 years before when she turned 18, as she thought my mother would welcome contact direct from her as an adult, but that contact was ignored.
Since then she has heard nothing else from her at all (21st birthday/xmas went by) despite my mother having her email address and mobile number, so she contacted her again by email to say that she didn't understand why.
My mother did not respond for 6 weeks! as she was busy moving house apparently and in her response, my mother said it was my fault as I prevented her from seeing her and she had bought Xmas and bday presents every year for her but had recently given them away to charity. This would have been after she met DD when she made no mention of this and could have given them to her then
.
I have told DD to have forget her completely as she is playing the same sort of mind games she used to play with me.
Its not about the presents but why lie about it?
Thoughts?
