I always try to talk to her and give her a hug but she never makes an effort to talk to me. Her husband (my dad) died 18 months ago . She is 68 years old. She doesn't have any friends. She is very religious and believes that people only stay friends for as long as it meets their needs. I agree with her as noone has been round to comfort my mum.
She spends her time chatting to people on a tarot card line and watching TV. She cooks and cleans too and I think this helps her give her a role in her life (i.e as a parent). She seems to believe in a hierachiacal structure of family where parents provide and deserve respect and children should listen and not talk back. The problem is I'm an Adult. I noticed when I moved out for a while she made more of an effort. I know that at her age she may be depressed. She used to be an active part of this relogious gr but she has lost interest after none supported her. Although she has asked me to go with her , I find it difficult as I'm not religio
