I have an "issue" with something that my mother had said to me in an email.... I love my mother dearly and feel that we are close, except on this one issue... The email that she sent me is not the only time that I felt this way about it and have wanted to talk to her about it before, but I am not really sure how to bring it up without hurting her feelings...
I have Fibromyalgia and sometimes have problems finding the right words to use and things don't come out the way that I want them to... Would it be right to send her an email, so that I can put down the words that I want and actually take some time to think about what I write, rather than having to stand there and search for the right words face-to-face and possibly alienate her forever??

Fibromyalgia DOES have something to do with it... Unfortunately one of my worst symptoms is the "fibrofog" that is associated with the condition... It is hard for me in normal "everyday conversation" to sometimes find the word that I am looking for or to remember things, much less being nervous added on top of it...

I probably wouldn't do it in an e-mail, because even if all the words are correct, sometimes it's how you say it that's more important than what you say. Instead maybe write her a letter and then have her read it in front of you so you can have a discussion about it, so that you get to say everything you want to put out there and you're right there so she can ask a questions, and have a discussion. Or read the letter to her, and then open up a discussion about it.

in your case an e-mail will do it, that way you can bring all what's in your heart and head, i hope she can understand you, though a chat on yahoo messenger will do better. try to set a rendez-vous with her on yahoo messenger that way you get the answer immediatly rather then waiting if you hurt her feelings or not...wish luck and good recovery.

does your disease affect your vocabulary?
I don't think that has anything to do with it to be honest., some people just can't come up with the proper words they want to convey.
mom should not be picking you apart for any reason.
why are you 2 not talking on the phone? think about what you want her to understand, make notes if you have to. but talk face to face

Fibromyalgia has NOTHING to do with "How words come out"

Yes...I think that is a very wise choice. This way nothing can be misconstrued.
