hi barbara, well you posted this some time ago so i'm hoping u may see this response. i'm 50 and my mom is 77. she would like to see us every week but it's very hard. one thing i think might be an issue with this subject is a generation gap. when i was growing up my mom and most moms i knew stayed home, were housewives. in contrast, today women have to go out and work to keep the family afloat. one income doesn't support a family as it once did. then they get home to their 2nd job - house, kids, etc. very stressful. that said, it does sound like she has anger towards you for some reason. you menitoned this started 2 years ago - something must have happened to bring on this change. did she always yell at you and make angry remarks to you? it sounds like there's more to it than she just suddenly decided to back away. but pls do keep in mind that women today carry a huge huge huge load and it's very stressful. wish u the best.
