I don’t know what to make of this.
Mum organised my Dad’s birthday in London. I couldn’t afford it. Everyone says it’s fine etc, see you when you get back.
A few days before they leave my mum says she will pay in some money (from Christmas) as they’d made the cheque out to my old name! We were quite hard up after Christmas and they knew we needed this money. The day before they were due to go to London I called and asked if it would be paid in before they went (having previously been told it would be paid in the 3 days before). Mum hugely stressed out with the trip to London, she needs to sort stuff out and won’t have time to make the payment and doesn’t feel comfortable paying it over the phone to the bank. At this point I am panicking a bit as we had expected the money 3 days before and she knew we needed it towards the credit card bill. In the end the call finishes with her saying she will do it on the return from London and that she had to go but would call me later. We say goodbye.
I hear nothing all week from them. Text dad on his birthday, he replies. Nothing from my mum. It is the longest she has ever not spoken to me.
I have asked my dad what he thinks and he simply said she was busy with work, not acknowledging they have been away all week on holiday.
She’s not known for silent treatment and I haven’t spoken to her as she knew how bad things were for us before she left for holiday and said she’d call and she didn’t. So I just left it as I felt hurt. Maybe that’s me being childish?
I don’t know what to make of it but by the sounds of it she will just make light of it. Usually she’d message at least every couple of days, a text here and there. Incidentally the money was paid in today.
Just feeling confused by this and not sure why she’d be cruel (is she being?) by not having spoken?
