I wrote my mother an email today.  This is a big step for me, she doesn't really acknowledge that I even exist except for holidays.  I called her on Mother's day, and left a message on her answering machine to wish her a happy mother's day, and to call me back with a time that I could come and visit and to talk with her about what was going on with my husband and me.  She never called me back.  I was very hurt.  I don't know what outcome will happen.  I gave her my cell phone number in case she wanted to call me in the email.  My husband doesn't approve of me getting a hold of her.  I need to tell her some things that happened years ago, things that might change our relationship.
