My husband spoke to his sister today about their mum and told her we need a break this Xmas , his sister was taken aback as we have done it 17 years in a row but she did admit its made her life easy. My husband fibbed and said we may go away which if we hit the jackpot we would! She's thinking about what to do ! My mums a different matter as she has no where to go having ostracized most the family , none of it her fault of course ! I'm going to have to tell her were going away even though prob wont be.
I do feel guilty but I think we have done more than our fare share .
Getting old I hope you realise it was your mum and not you ? I have spent my life been told by her I wasn't good enough in various ways but even now at age fifty when I tried to tell her last year the way she treat me was unacceptable she couldn't see it tried to blame me and hung up the phone on.me leading to all the Xmas bother 😐
