What to do, what to do

Ok long story short, back in Jan. 2020 I had a phone conversation with my Mum, she wasn't in the best of places and i had a few home truths and venomous opinions spat at me. We did speak after this and thankfully I was able to visit her for her birthday just before Corona Virus locked us down. I didn't want to discuss the phone conversation when visiting for her birthday, as I didn't want to stain that memory. I never thought It'd be over a year down the line and I still wouldn't have had the opportunity.

I'm in a quandary now, have I left it too late, Is it worth dragging up such history?

What would you do?

Thank you for taking the time to read, any advice or opinions would be much appreciated.

Stay safe, keep well and stay strong, remember and be kind to yourself.

I would say if there are things that still trouble you, just say that you would like to resolve them. Agree to talk about how you would like to move ahead and express that you want to feel that your relationship can get better by discussing what happened without getting back into the emotion of the previous exchanges. I hope that makes sense. Best of luck.

I agree with Marnie, in our hour of need, it is said, we call out for our mum!

Repair the wound before it really does get too far down the line👍🙂

Well it would have been useless to have called mine as she was always right - not!

Agreed Marnie. If things are left unresolved they continue to keep coming to mind and making you miserable.

I'd say let it go. Be prepared for the next time. If. I understand your story, there will be a next time.

Not what you're looking for?
