When I moved in to my mothers new house she said she really didnt want me here but she understood the importance of me getting out of where I was. Ive been here a week and helped her unpack as she just moved into this house. Im in the lower level and have my own entrance so I dont see her too often. She came to me tonight and said you know you can stay as long as you like. I was really tired last night so I stopped on my way home and got a sandwich for supper. When I got in she looked really happy to see me and asked me what I wanted for supper. When I told her I had already eaten she looked sad. Right now she was saying how tired she is but is insisting on making supper. Did she think before I moved in I would be a burden and now she likes the fact someone is here?? Is it because Ive stuck to myself and not interfered in her life?? Or am I just thick and missing something here altogether...

i think ican relate to your mother i myself tell my kids that just so i know they can survive on there on when im no longer around to help them. but then change my way of saying things its such a great feeling knowing your kids still need you. we miss your visits, your calls and your i love u mom.

sounds like she had an 'image' in her head beforehand but reality proved things to be otherwise .. the otherwise has been a pleasant surprise to her. I would tell her I am glad it seems to be working so well and you are grateful for her help .. and keep things harmonious ... better that than conflict.

R, don't try to analyze it, just be happy and grateful that it worked out they way it did and that you are out of that other place. Look to the positives. Hugs.

It is a great thing to be on good terms with ones Mum .. in a mutual way, of course. Enjoy it, .. nourish it.

she is seeing that you love her and don't want to hinder her in any way. as a mother i can say this as a fact. she is seeing that having you there is actually a comfort to her. i am so relieved to hear this... she appears to me by your comments to be feeling safe emotionally by your being there. what a wonderful thing that had happened here.
