Aw, Lana!

Wish I could give you a big hug. Nobody here is going to judge you as we all have our own family and friend issues. Heaven knows my family is difficult enough.

Perhaps giving your mom some breathing room might help her realize what she is doing to herself and the people around her. Sometimes when people get enough room, they realize their actions and words are driving the people who care about them away.

Now that you're expecting, you have more than yourself to worry about. I also hate to say it, but do you want to bring your child over to your mom's house when it's born just to go through the same mental anguish? That's also something to think about. Don't feel guilty for not going to see her because it's not just you who would suffer.

If you want her to know about your pregnancy, but don't want to talk to her, perhaps send a note card? That way you don't have to hear a response if you don't want to.

Hope this helps a little bit. Email me if you want to talk - you know I'm always available to listen.
