My mother and I had a row last week. Without outing she basically messed up and did something that hurt me and my siblings then lied herself in circles to get out of it (she has been caught out in a few lies recently), then came clean (only because another person put pressure on her to tell the truth)
Anyway we had an huge argument but she refused to explain why she did what she did and just wanted it all to be forgotten about and brushed under the carpet. She apologised for hurting us and we agreed we would forget about it and move forward but since then she is being so cold to me and my siblings. Text messages go unanswered, she won't speak on the phone, has asked us not to visit her and the one time I saw her (because she needed to collect something from me) I just acted normally but she refused to make eye contact or speak to me. It's like she is punishing us.... but we didn't do anything wrong. I don't get it.
We are normally so close and this seems out of character for her but this is the first proper argument we have had since I was a teenager so maybe this has always been how she is when she is called out on bad behaviour.
I don't know what the right thing to do is. For now I'm just not contacting her and hoping she gets over her little sulk soon.... but I just don't get why she's acting like this.
