Seriously, sometimes I wonder why I make an effort to try to have a close relationship with my parents.

Well my dad...I've pretty much given up on him. After him not coming to the wedding and all after he promised me he would... I pretty much took off the rose colored glasses and realized he would always be a jerk and I'm cool with that. Really.

My mom on the other hand...every time I talk to her the end result is something like this: :doh:
It's weird b/c I used to be close w/ her and I realize relationships change but she is seriously getting :crazy: in her old age. She's just not the same as she used to be. She used to be really easy to talk to and this open person and she is not like that anymore at all.

I'm annoyed too that the only time I really talk to her is if I call her. Like if I don't call her... it can be 3-4 months before I hear from her. She never visits, she always tells us to come visit her. She can even BE IN MY CITY but never drop by my house.

I don't know what her problem is... but I guess I just get tired of one sided relationships, even if they are family.

I moved back to Indiana to be closer to my family and I swear it is like what was the point?...
I pretty much see them all the same amount.
Granted I would see my brother & sister more if they lived closer...

I hear ya...I've about had it with my mother. She got all upset before Addi was born because she thought she'd be watching her a few days a week for me (um...HELL NO). And now she pretty much ignores her, which is really okay with me, because I see how she treats me 3 year-old nephew and it's horrible. She acts worse than he does and it's all I can do not to smack her or something.
