Well maybe shes just being independant and wants to be on her own..maybe there was a grudge she held against you, maybe shes just depressed and its not because of you. The only way to know for sure is to talk to her. Theres a million possibilities out there...the only way to find out is to ask. If she doesnt want to have anything to do with you, have your husband or another relative talk to her. This is sad and im sorry to hear it because I plan to be close with my mom forever...but if you extend your hand out to her and show her your there, its up to her to make the next move. Its up to her to make the changes. You just continue to be there for her.
I hope everything works out

She probably wants to have more of her won life now, not that she doesn't love you. But if she doesn't contact you often, or at all, or seems depressed when you are around her, she may have a serious issue. She also may know a dirty secret of yours which you would hate for her to know. Either way, you need to talk to her, because she just may be waiting. I hope you work this out.

Berri answered Saturday December 18 2004, 11:50 am: She has her own very busy life now. I mean think about when she was a child. Weren't you extremely busy with her? Just call her up one day at a time when you're sure she isn't really busy with something, and tell her that you're feeling left out. It's normal for moms to feel this way when their children leave home and start having children of their own. Surely she isn't really trying to exclude you from her life. Maybe she's just a little annoyed because you were calling TOO MUCH or something along those lines. Try to give her her own space, but still be supportive and caring, and be there when she needs you.

cutebrunette answered Saturday December 18 2004, 11:08 am: I think you should talk to your daughter. Tell her how you are feeling. Tell her you want to be closer to her, espeically around the holiday season. Just tell her how you feel.
luckycharm answered Saturday December 18 2004, 9:28 am: hmm... i think you should talk to her about it if it really bothers you! maybe make a special mother/daughter shopping trip or something like that so you can spend some quality time with her... maybe she thinks that you dont want to talk to her so just invite her over for dinner ot plan a girls night out or something fun! show her that you love her and if you ask her about it, listen to her and try to fix whats wrong...i hope this helps!

hErEtoheLp answered Saturday December 18 2004, 2:55 am: If that's the case then she's probably dealing with some old resentment issues. I don't know your family situation, but maybe she's still having issues to things that might of gone on when she was younger between the two of ya'll. The only way anything will ever get solved is if you step up, and let her know that you want to be apart of her life, and you want to know why she's trying exclude you from her's. It might start a fight, but sometimes things have to get worse before they can start to get better. You'll know how to handle it much better if you confront her, and you actually know the reason for her acting the way she does. [ hErEtoheLp's advice column | Ask hErEtoheLp A Question ]
xO_Chelsea_Ox answered Saturday December 18 2004, 2:49 am: Have you ever thought that you could have treated her less then your other children?? I mean, she probably thought that you loved her siblings more than her... Just a suggestion. I mean, i don't like my mom at all and i never want to see her again and that's because it seems like she loves my little sister more than me. I hoped i helped!! :)
