I think it was Irma Rombauer that said "family is when, when you have to go there, they have to take you in." I'm not sure where that puts you. I didn't speak to my mother for about three years. It was therapeutic. Now that we're on the other side of it, she's a lot more civil. I also don't spend very long with her.

I think you'll find that the dynamic between adults and their parents is very different than that of children and their parents. Not better, not worse, but better. I won't give any advice other than to remember the past but don't be chained to it.

Good luck.
