My mother is like that also. She is close with my sister, however my brother and I are cast aside. I am 48...it still hurts when I let it. The way I deal with it is I have a great circle of close friends, I am a wife and a mother and give my children the love that I wanted from my mother, my husband the love that he deserves and it has been through doing this that I have received more love than I ever thought was possible. I am sorry your mom is like that. I do know how it feels, however remember always that you are worth so much more, believe it and you will be happy.

You don't say in detail why she doesn't want to be in your life other than a dislike for your husband but if someone is that objectionable perhaps her negativity would best be left alone and your new family should thank their blessings she isn't overly involved with you all. It could also be that she enjoys you chasing her for her love and attention. Write her a nice note saying you respect her decision to not have anything to do with you and your husband and her grandchild and wish her a good life and see what happens. Good luck and God Bless.

Just because she is your mother doesn't mean that there is a law that says now that you are an adult she has to associate with you. Quit hurting yourself by trying to force a relationship with somebody who clearly doesn't want one with you. Find somebody else who is an older woman that you can confide in and that you respect. And she doesn't have to be a blood relative.

1] Make sure that you are fair and right in picturing the situation.
2] Ask an old relative's help.
3] Seek medical or social help.
4] No way!!! Leave her alone.

Just go your merry way and enjoy your husband and expected child. Eventually, you will know why she is so miserable and perhaps at that time you can help her.

You don't do anything, just let her be. When the baby comes, she'll realize she missing out on him, and will want to visit. Just focus on your baby, be stress free, happy and healthy, that's what's important.

Ask her why she is being difficult and why she doesnt want to be in your life, then when you have your answers you can decide what to do.Parents can be more childish than their kids at times..............

If she doesn't want to be in your life, let her be. It's her loss. You will find new relationships; she probably won't.
